After three rounds of games in the English Premier League, statisticians have put datas together to show the players who are top in several positions and also tasks on the pitch of play.
The midfield is seen as the engine room of any team and it’s why it’s worth knowing who the standout players have been in that department. For now two Nigerians top the chart.
Per Whoscored.com, two senior international for Nigeria currently towers head and shoulders above all other midfielders in the league in the area of winning possession.
As expected Wilfred Nididi is listed and he currently holds the award of the player who has won more possession than any other player with 20 to his name. Second to him is his Nigeria international teammate Alex Iwobi.
Now playing in a withdrawn role, Iwobi has excelled so far in the first three games of the season hence it isn’t much of a surprise to see that he has won back possession 19 times this season, only Ndidi has done so more time than him.
