Power Ranking Every Single Nigerian Player In The Premier League So Far This Season

Folarin Balogun
The Arsenal man has joined Middlesbrough temporarily until the end of the season.

Peter Etebo
Etebo did not feature in Watford’s final game of the year at Chelsea and they will not return next season having been relegated.

William Troost-Ekong
The centre-back was an unused substitute at Chelsea.

Samuel Kalu
Successive starts against the Toffees and Leicester have seen Kalu supplant three players in our updated rankings.

While the Hornets picked up one point from a possible six, suffering a 5-1 thrashing by the Foxes, the winger has been decent-to-good, impressing with his aggressive ball-carrying.

After a frustrating start in Hertfordshire, Kalu is ending on a somewhat positive note.

Carney Chukwuemeka
The teenager started for the second time in the Premier League in last week’s draw with Burnley and barely pulled up trees until his withdrawal after 57 minutes.

Chukwuemeka played no part in the dramatic final day 3-2 defeat at Manchester City, thus remaining in situ.

Frank Onyeka
Onyeka returned to the Brentford bench after his two-month absence but played no part in the Bees’ 2-1 loss against Leeds United.

Ademola Lookman
The winger was an unused substitute at Stamford Bridge and got only 13 minutes off the bench in Leicester City’s 4-1 final day success over Southampton.

Wilfred Ndidi
Ndidi ends in sixth despite missing the final two months of the campaign with a knee injury.

The Leicester midfielder’s last game was the 2-0 defeat by Arsenal in mid-March.

Emmanuel Dennis
Another non-appearance at Chelsea means Dennis played no part in Watford’s final three games.

He ended the campaign with 10 league goals, though, matching Troy Deeney and Gerard Deulofeu’s returns in 2019/20 and 2018/19, respectively.

Kelechi Iheanacho
‘Seniorman’ falls a place having failed to make an appearance in Leicester City’s last two games against Norwich and Watford.


Michael Olise
Olise ends in third spot after a late-season injury meant the Crystal Palace playmaker missed the final gameweeks of the campaign.


Eberechi Eze
A late surge in appearances at the backend of the campaign means Eze rises to second spot from fourth place having made his fourth start on the trot at Aston Villa.

Eze fashioned two opportunities in the 1-1 draw, was positive in possession and looked to play on the front foot until his withdrawal in minute 77.

Indeed, Eze made a late push to end atop our rankings.


Alex Iwobi
The Everton man holds on to first place but had to worry about Eze’s form in the campaign's final week.

With the Toffees fighting for their lives, Iwobi has been one of the team’s better players and a 10th successive start in the 3-2 defeat by Brentford equalled his best run for five years.
