With this latest achievement, Alex Iwobi now ranks second among Nigerian players with the most Premier League appearances, trailing only former Newcastle United star Shola Ameobi. He is just 15 appearances shy of surpassing Ameobi’s record, putting him on the brink of setting a new milestone.
Iwobi’s stellar form this season has further cemented his importance to Fulham. Boasting seven goals and three assists, he has proven himself to be a vital contributor to the team’s success.
Given his consistency and current trajectory, it seems inevitable that Iwobi will soon ascend to the top spot on the all-time Nigerian Premier League appearance list, further solidifying his legacy in both Nigerian football and the English top flight.
