Alex Iwobi, the talented Nigerian footballer, has made history by equaling Nwankwo Kanu’s record for the most assists by a Nigerian player in the English Premier League. In a thrilling match at the London Stadium on Sunday, Iwobi set up Brazil midfielder Andreas Pereira for Fulham’s second goal in a 2-0 victory.

This achievement marks Iwobi’s 29th assist in the Premier League, matching the impressive record set by Kanu during his playing days. The 27-year-old, who has previously played for top clubs like Arsenal and Everton, joined Fulham last summer and has been a key player for the team.

Iwobi’s versatility and skill on the field have earned him 25 appearances for Fulham this season, with five goals to his name. In addition to his assist record, he also recently surpassed the record for the most minutes played by a Nigerian player in Premier League history, previously held by former Chelsea star John Mikel Obi.

This milestone is a testament to Iwobi’s talent and dedication to the game, solidifying his place as one of Nigeria’s top footballers in the Premier League. Fans around the world are eagerly watching as he continues to make his mark on the pitch.
