Defender Calvin Bassey reached 100 Premier League appearances during a match against Ipswich Town. He is the 28th player in Fulham’s history to reach this mark and the second Nigerian player to do so for the club. Midfielder Alex Iwobi reached 328 Premier League appearances during a 1-0 victory over Coventry City. This achievement moves him into joint-second place among African players for most appearances in the competition's history, alongside Egypt's Mohamed Salah. Iwobi remains 25 matches behind the all-time record of 353 appearances held by former Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) issued a statement congratulating the 30-year-old, with Acting General Secretary Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme expressing hope that Iwobi would “eventually claim the record outright.” Additionally, Iwobi recently earned his 100th cap for the Nigerian national team during a summer friendly against Portugal. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-24: Alex Iwobi matches Mohamed Salah for most Premier League appearances by an African player Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi has made 328 Premier League appearances, equaling Mohamed Salah for the second-most appearances by an African player in the competition's history. 14 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alex-iwobi-reaches-milestone-in-english-premier-league ### 2026-10-13: Calvin Bassey reaches 100 Premier League appearances for Fulham Nigerian defender Calvin Bassey has made 100 Premier League appearances for Fulham, becoming the second Nigerian player to reach the milestone for the club after Alex Iwobi. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/calvin-bassey-reaches-100-premier-league-appearances-for-fulham --- Cite as: Nigerian players milestones at Fulham FC.
