Iwobi surpasses Kanu in Premier League Record

Iwobi

Alex Iwobi continues to impress in the Premier League, reaching a significant milestone in Fulham’s recent 3-2 defeat to West Ham. Despite scoring two goals in the London derby, Iwobi’s efforts weren’t enough to secure any points for his team.

The match at the London Stadium marked Iwobi’s 274th Premier League appearance, a testament to his consistency and longevity in the league. This milestone moves him clear of Nigerian legend Nwankwo Kanu, with whom he was previously tied for second place with 273 appearances.

Iwobi’s Premier League journey has included 123 appearances for Arsenal, 100 for Everton, and now 51 for Fulham. He has consistently proven to be a reliable and valuable player for each club.

With this latest milestone, Iwobi now trails only former Newcastle United star Shola Ameobi in the list of Nigerian players with the most Premier League appearances. He is just 15 appearances away from surpassing Ameobi’s record.

Iwobi’s impressive form this season, with seven goals and three assists, has solidified his place as a key player for Fulham. Given his current trajectory, it appears to be only a matter of time before he claims the top spot on the all-time Nigerian Premier League appearance list.
