Iwobi Joins Elite Group with 100 Premier League Appearances for Three Clubs

Alex Iwobi has reached a notable Premier League landmark, becoming just the fifth footballer to register 100 or more appearances for three separate clubs.

Quick facts

  • Iwobi has passed 100 Premier League games with Arsenal, Everton and Fulham.
  • He played 100 league matches for Arsenal and 123 for Everton.
  • Gary Speed, Rory Delap, Gareth Barry and James Milner also achieved the feat.

The Fulham midfielder completed the treble after previously reaching the mark with Arsenal and Everton.

Iwobi made exactly 100 Premier League appearances for Arsenal before joining Everton in 2019. He featured 123 times in the competition for the Toffees, then switched to Fulham in 2023.

His name now sits alongside Speed, Delap, Barry and Milner in the select group of players to have reached three-figure league totals at three clubs.

The Premier League marked the occasion on its official social media account with the message: “A century. And again. And again.”

Iwobi has also become one of Nigeria’s most seasoned internationals, pairing his long career in England’s top flight with more than 100 appearances for the Super Eagles.

The latest achievement reflects the midfielder’s reliability and sustained form in English football since his senior Arsenal debut more than 10 years ago.
