Power Ranking Every Single Nigerian Player In The Premier League So Far This Season

 



Folarin Balogun


Continues to be uninvolved in the first-team picture, so he remains in his old position in our rankings.


Carney Chukwuemeka


The talented Aston Villa prospect hasn't played since August's draw with Brentford and was an unused substitute in Friday's 1-0 defeat by Southampton.


Villa's loss at Saints proved to be Dean Smith's final game in charge of the club.


Will Chukwuemeka get more opportunities under the next head coach?


Peter Etebo


Despite being out injured, the non-appearances of Chukwuemeka and Balogun see Etebo retain his spot.


William Troost-Ekong


The centre-back was left out by Claudio Ranieri at Arsenal, thereby continuing his free-fall in our rankings.


Troost-Ekong is supplanted by the next name on our list...


Ademola Lookman


Brendan Rodgers trusted the wide attacker in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Leeds United and, while he didn't score or assist, the loanee, who had a goal chalked off by VAR, did offer something on his first start since early October.


Lookman replaces Troost-Ekong, who falls a place after being dropped for Watford.


Alex Iwobi


Iwobi's first goal of the season in Everton's 2-1 defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night saw him overtake Troost-Ekong, but the Everton midfielder remains in situ after sitting out Sunday's goalless encounter with Tottenham Hotspur.


Michael Olise


Even though Patrick Vieira gave the youngster 10 minutes of action in Crystal Palace's 2-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Olise keeps his spot.


The wonderkid's weekly rise is slowed owing to his minimal impact on Saturday.


Emmanuel Dennis


Apart from irritating the crowd at the Emirates Stadium, Dennis had little impact on proceedings against Arsenal.


The limited activity below him, though, means the Watford attacker keeps his spot.


Kelechi Iheanacho


Seniorman is a continued beneficiary of Dennis' little impact at Arsenal as he keeps his place in our rankings despite being an unused substitute at Leeds United.


The Watford man is hot on his heels, and Iheanacho's performances need to improve imminently to keep the Hornet at bay.


Frank Onyeka


Onyeka saw no match action in Brentford's 2-1 defeat by Norwich City, but the central midfielder keeps his position.


Dennis' failure to pull up trees at Arsenal and Iheanacho's non-appearance at Leeds means the versatile Super Eagle isn't displaced.


Wilfred Ndidi


Ndidi started for the first time in over a month in Leicester City's 1-1 draw at Leeds United.


The anchorman gave a typical showing at Elland Road and came out unscathed, playing 90 minutes on his return.


Having not dropped despite his absence, the defensive midfielder is likely to hang on to top spot unless his performances dip significantly.
