Mo Salah overtaken, only Kolo Toure to go - A big milestone looms for Alex Iwobi

Nov 1, 2026 2:48 PM

Fulham did well to earn another point against Aston Villa and continue their recent run of form, with the Cottagers now three games unbeaten and have nine points from their last six matches (2W, 3D, 1L.)

And in that 1-1 draw at Villa Park, one Fulham player neared a major milestone.

That player was Alex Iwobi, who overtook Mohamed Salah to go into second spot for the most African appearances in the Premier League.

Iwobi now has 329 Premier League appearances, with only Kolo Toure's 353 appearances ahead of the Nigerian for most in the English top flight by an African.
