Top 5 Most Booked Nigeria-Eligible Players In English Premier League; Iwobi Cleanest Player
Published: March 18, 2020When it comes to yellow cards, Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing is the most booked Nigeria-eligible player in the English Premier League, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
The former Denmark U21 international has been shown seven yellow cards in total by referees in 27 matches, one each against Aston Villa, Leicester City, Arsenal, Watford, Wolves, Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove.
On a positive note, Billing has not been yellow carded in the Premier League in his last eight games.
Behind the Cherries star is Bukayo Saka, who has been cautioned four times, which is not surprising considering the fact that he has been made to play as a makeshift left-back since December 15.
The Hale End Academy product has been booked three times in his last ten games, playing as a defender.
With nine games left in the 2019-2020 season, Leicester City holding midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has improved his disciplinary record, having accumulated three yellow cards compared to the eight he received over the course of last season.
Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho and his former Golden Eaglet teammate Isaac Success have received one yellow card apiece and are joint fourth in the ranking.
Of the Nigerian players to be involved in at least five games, Everton's Alex Iwobi is the cleanest as he has not been booked this season after 18 games under his belt.
