A True Talent – Sunday Oliseh Praises Alex Iwobi After Becoming the First Nigerian Player to Reach 300 Premier League Appearances

Former Nigerian international, Sunday Oliseh has praised Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi following his recent achievement.

Recall that Iwobi recently became the first Nigerian player to reach 300 Premier League appearances.

Iwobi hit the remarkable milestone during Fulham’s weekend clash against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.

The 29-year-old began his Premier League journey in October 2015, debuting for Arsenal against Swansea City. His 300 matches span across three clubs: Arsenal (100 appearances), Everton (123), and now Fulham (77).

Reacting to the incredible landmark, Oliseh took to his official X account to celebrate the star. “Congrats Alex! for me one, it is a real joy to see this player continue to improve. A true talent,” Oliseh wrote.
