From what I've seen, Drogba and Eto'o. Maybe Essien too.
From the players that actually played for an African team NT, anyway.

To be honest none of algeria is arab genetically but a small portion. They are however Mediterraneans so they share similarities with lebanese, turks, italians.. etc etc.
My family is of mostly berber but some, if negligible, arab descent as well. Berbers can pass for arabs and vice versa. even ibrahim fking afellay can pass in lebanon to an extent
Let's not turn this into an anthropology discussion either
He is still african

Hard to compare, for example, George Weah vs Zinedine Zidane.
Two different positions. Different skills.
Maybe a better question might be... who was the best African striker? Or who was the best African playmaker?

Zidane shouldn't be considered as African , in this case.
Has he played for Algeria , he wouldn't have won the euro and WC , which are a big part of his legacy.
Therefore he wouldn't be even considered as a GOAT. Just a great player at best
