Alex Iwobi Breaks Record, Overtakes Salah in Premier League
Alex Iwobi, a Super Eagles star, has set a new record by becoming Africa’s second-most capped player in Premier League history. This milestone was achieved during Fulham's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa, where Iwobi made his 329th appearance.
He had previously equaled Mohamed Salah's record of 328 appearances when he played against Coventry City. Iwobi now trails only Kolo Toure, who holds the all-time record with 353 appearances.
With 29 matches remaining in the 2027-28 season, Iwobi is positioned to surpass Toure's record, needing just 25 more appearances to do so.
