Leicester City's Premier League win against Southampton wasn’t just a historic comeback for Wilfred Ndidi—it was also a record-setting night for the Nigerian midfielder.

The 27-year-old, who has become a key figure in the heart of the Foxes' midfield, reached a significant milestone by becoming the ninth Nigerian player to make 200 Premier League appearances.

Since joining Leicester in the winter of 2017, the combative midfielder has played an instrumental role in the club’s success, regardless of who has been at the helm.

Demonstrating his versatility once again, Ndidi contributed to Leicester's second consecutive win in the Premier League campaign.

With the season only eight games in, Ndidi is poised to further climb the ranks, potentially surpassing the records of other Nigerian players who have reached 200 appearances in the league.

In light of this achievement, we highlight a list of Nigerian players with the most Premier League appearances in history.
