Fulham midfielder, Alex Iwobi, has become the first Nigerian footballer to make 300 appearances in the Premier League.

Iwobi hit the milestone when he featured against Newcastle United at St James Park on Saturday.

The 29-year-old made his debut in the English top-flight against Swansea City in October 2015. At the time, he was on the books of Arsenal.

Iwobi played 100 league games for the Gunners, 123 matches for Everton and 77 now for Fulham.

Across his 299 Premier League outings, Iwobi has contributed 69 goal involvements, comprising 32 goals and 37 assists.

Iwobi is also just the fifth African player to reach the milestone.

The Super Eagles playmaker is only behind Kolo Toure (353), Mohamed Salah (309), Wilfried Zaha (305) and Jordan Ayew (305).
