Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi is targeting the record for the most Premier League appearances by an African player.
The 30-year-old moved into second place on the all-time list after Fulham’s 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park last Saturday. He had previously been level with former Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah.
Iwobi has made 329 Premier League appearances across spells with Arsenal, Everton and Fulham. He recorded 100 appearances for Arsenal, 123 for Everton and has featured 106 times for Fulham.
Former Ivory Coast international Kolo Touré currently holds the record with 352 appearances. Iwobi remains determined to surpass that mark.
“I’m trying to break the record. I think Kolo Touré is up there, so I’ll keep looking forward and see if I can break that,” he told FFC TV.
