It has been reported by Footynaija that Alex Iwobi has set his sights on becoming the player from Africa with the most Premier League appearances.
After last Saturday’s 1-1 draw between Fulham and Aston Villa at Villa Park, the midfielder moved up to second position in the all-time list.
Iwobi and Mohamed Salah, a former Liverpool winger, were previously tied for second place.
Over his three club stints, the 30-year-old has amassed 329 appearances.
With Arsenal, Iwobi played in 100 games, while with Everton he played in 123. For Fulham, he has made 106 appearances thus far.
Iwobi told FFC TV, “But I’m trying to break the record. I think Kolo Toure is up there, so I’ll keep my eyes going forward and see if I can break that.” Toure has made 352 appearances, more than any other player.
