Power ranking every single Nigerian player in the Premier League so far this season

The Crystal Palace wide attacker has not played since he came off the bench on the opening day of the season. He remained an unused substitute against Chelsea, leaving him on four Premier League minutes for the entire season so far.

Malcolm Ebiowei

Five minutes off the bench in Brentford’s 0-0 draw at Bournemouth sees Onyeka back down our rankings list.

Frank Onyeka

Dennis replaced his countryman, Taiwo Awoniyi with 30 minutes to play and had a decent-to-good half-hour.The Forest forward created a clear-cut chance in those 30 minutes and was unlucky to not register an assist in the 4-0 defeat by Leicester City.

Emmanuel Dennis

Awoniyi may have had nightmares after Monday’s defeat by Leicester, owing to his missed chances before the inevitable withdrawal.The centre-forward could have opened the scoring for the Tricky Trees but hit the woodwork, only to be inevitably punished minutes later by the Foxes.The former Union Berlin frontman is overtaken by no less than three players this week.

Taiwo Awoniyi

‘Seniorman’ expectedly falls owing to his non-appearance in Leicester’s 4-0 win over Forest.

Kelechi Iheanacho

A torrid afternoon at Craven Cottage saw Adarabioyo and his Fulham teammates suffer a 4-1 hammering by Newcastle United. The loss sees the centre-back drop from second spot.

Tosin Adarabioyo

Bournemouth were overly defensive in their scoreless game with Brentford, with Solanke starved of the ball for the majority of proceedings.The Cherries’ best player still fashioned two chances for teammates even if he came out second-best in all but four of 12 duels.Solanke does not retain his previous position in third.

Dominic Solanke

Ndidi got only 45 minutes of action on Monday night but gave a good account of himself in the 4-0 success.Perhaps substituted with the Foxes three up to avoid any recurrence of his recent injury worries, the defensive midfielder ought to have been pleased with his showing.

Wilfred Ndidi

Olise thrived in Patrick Vieira’s attack-minded 4-3-3 that saw the playmaker and Eberechi Eze flank Cheick Doucoure in midfield.The talent was positive in his disposition and looked to make things happen. He was involved in a Palace-high three shot-creating actions and only Wilfried Zaha outdid the playmaker’s five progressive carries.Olise undoubtedly rises from eighth.

Michael Olise

Aribo had been in freefall in our rankings but a return to his best position in Ralph Hasenhuttl’s preferred 4-2-2-2 saw the Southampton attacking midfielder score his second Premier League goal.While the Saints could not hold on for the win, the Nigerian’s finish and overall showing with and without possession were commendable.Aribo consequently moves into the top three, having previously dropped to eighth.

Joe Aribo

Palace were beaten by Chelsea last Saturday but Eze gave a good account of himself with the ball.He carried it aggressively, played with intent and was in favourable positions to regain possession. The former Queens Park Rangers attacking midfielder makes the top two this week.

Eberechi Eze

Another week and the Everton man retains his position atop our rankings.Iwobi supplied the all-important assist to win Everton back-to-back games with Saturday’s 2-1 success at Southampton, taking him to three assists in 2022-23.The Super Eagle also set-up Neal Maupay's winner against West Ham United before the hiatus.The central midfielder’s consistency is admirable, and he can do no wrong presently.
