From legends like Kanu Nwankwo, Jay-Jay Okocha, Daniel Amokachi, and Yakubu Aiyegbeni, the Premier League has long been a stage for some of Nigeria’s brightest football stars. That tradition continues today, albeit with fewer Nigerian players lighting up England’s top tier compared to years past.

Still, a number of talented Super Eagles are making their presence felt across the league—some starring for clubs with European ambitions, others battling to avoid relegation. Here's a look at some of the top Nigerian players currently plying their trade in the Premier League:

🇳🇬 Ola Aina (Nottingham Forest)

Formerly of Chelsea, Ola Aina has grown into a key figure at Nottingham Forest under Nuno Espírito Santo. Known for his speed, versatility, and defensive awareness, Aina chipped in with 2 goals and 1 assist last season, proving vital on both ends of the pitch.

🇳🇬 Alex Iwobi (Fulham)

Once hindered by injuries and inconsistency at Arsenal and Everton, Alex Iwobi has found a new lease of life at Fulham. Under Marco Silva, the midfield maestro enjoyed a standout campaign, notching 9 goals and 6 assists, becoming one of the team’s most dependable performers.

🇳🇬 Frank Onyeka (Brentford)

Although his future at Brentford remains uncertain amid transfer speculation, Frank Onyeka remains a valuable asset. Following a successful loan at FC Augsburg, he looks ready to play a bigger role for Brentford this season, especially with new manager Keith Andrews seeking midfield stability.

🇳🇬 Calvin Bassey (Fulham)

Defender Calvin Bassey has flourished at Fulham, becoming a regular in the backline throughout last season. His strong performances helped the club achieve a record points tally, earning him the Fulham Player of the Season award and solidifying his spot as a key Super Eagles representative in the EPL.
