In a solid campaign: Iwobi becomes the fifth African player to play over 50 Premier League matches for three different teams
Fulham are hosting Ipswich at Craven Cottage in matchday 20 of the English Premier League.
Alex Iwobi started the game for the Cottagers. This match marked the Nigerian winger's 50th appearance for Fulham in the Premier League.
Details. Iwobi has become only the fifth African player to play more than 50 matches in the Premier League for three different teams. He joins an elite list that includes Nwankwo Kanu (Arsenal, Portsmouth, West Bromwich), El Hadji Diouf (Bolton, Blackburn, Liverpool), Yakubu Aiyegbeni (Everton, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth), and Mohamed Diamé (Wigan, West Ham, Newcastle).
Reminder. Iwobi is a product of Arsenal’s academy but failed to establish himself as a key player for the Gunners, leading to his transfer to Everton.
In 2023, the Nigerian international winger moved to Fulham for €25.70 million, where he has since become a crucial player for the team.
