It’s potentially already there. There’s one that’s popped up in Southern France thought to originate from Cameroon.
When I last read on it 67 patients had been identified with this variant all suffering moderate to severe symptoms.

Emergence in Southern France of a new SARS-CoV-2 variant of probably Cameroonian origin harbouring both substitutions N501Y and E484K in the spike protein.
