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

Folarin Balogun
Balogun continues to be uninvolved with the Arsenal first-team, missing Saturday’s 3-0 win over Southampton, and his position does not change.
Eberechi Eze - Crystal PalaceEberechi Eze
Eze played no part in Sunday’s 3-1 success over Everton. Thus, he remains in situ in our rankings.
Watford.Peter Etebo
The injured Watford star dropped a place last week but is a beneficiary of Eze not getting game time against Everton.
Getty ImagesCarney Chukwuemeka
Chukwuemeka supplanted Etebo last week but was not involved in Aston Villa’s 1-0 loss at Liverpool at the weekend, losing the chance to supplant anyone above him.
GettyWilliam Troost-Ekong
While Troost-Ekong had a better evening at Brentford Community Stadium, the final 10 minutes underscored his recent struggles.
The centre-back lost Pontus Jansson for Brentford’s equaliser before unwisely going to the ground to concede a penalty at the death.
GettyAlex Iwobi
Iwobi did not feature in Everton’s defeat by Palace and remains in his old position as a consequence.
Getty ImagesAdemola Lookman
Lookman missed Leicester City’s 4-0 hammering of Newcastle United on Sunday. He neither moves up nor falls in our rankings this weekend.
GettyMichael Olise
Despite being an unused substitute against Everton, Olise will hope appearances in future will help him to supplant Kelechi Iheanacho.
GettyKelechi Iheanacho
An injury ruled out the left-footed hitman against Newcastle but he was unlikely to feature from the off anyway, with game time at a premium before Sunday.
Getty ImagesFrank Onyeka
Onyeka was lively after coming off the bench in the Bees’ turnaround against Watford. He, however, does not move up owing to the strong individual showings from the pair above him.
GettyWilfred Ndidi
The Leicester anchorman had a good game as the Foxes defeated Newcastle 4-0 at the King Power Stadium to record their first back-to-back wins on their turf.
It was also the East Midlands side’s first clean sheet since the opening weekend of the season.
Having said that, Ndidi does not displace the irrepressible Emmanuel Dennis.
Watford.Emmanuel Dennis
Another strike for Dennis against Brentford took his Premier League tally to seven, outdone by only three players in the league.
The Hornets marksman maintains his lead in our rankings.
