The ex-Arsenal player is currently the fifth African to play the most games in the English top flight.
Kolo Touré (353), Mohamed Salah (309), Wilfried Zaha (309), and Jordan Ayew (305) are the only players who have played more games than him.
Iwobi added that reaching the milestone was a great honour for him.
He said, “It’s amazing.” Fulham’s official website cited him as stating, “It’s a big achievement to lead that, with the likes of Shola Ameobi and even my uncle [Jay-Jay Okocha] that has played in the Premier League.”
“Thanks, but I’m not done yet.” I’m going to keep going and hope to break the record.
