KANU is more successful than Mikel. KANU won 2 EPL titles while Mikel has one. Forget continental titles, we are talking of EPL here. KANU singlehandedly won FA cup for Portsmouth after winning for arsenal.

Between Kanu and Mikel. But I will go for Mikel
Re: Who Is The Most Successful Nigerian In Epl History? by TDonald: 2:17pm On Nov 01, 2014
These 3 are it for me

KANU ‘PAPILLO’ NWANKWO


Although Kanu made most of his EPL appearances as a substitute,
he is the reason the league became a popular one here in Nigeria.
He moved to Arsenal from FC Internazionale of Italy for 4.1 million
pounds after a scare about his heart. He went on to play for West
Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth. He made a total of 315
appearances (118 as a substitute, an EPL record) scoring 57 goals.
He won 2 Premier League titles, 3 FA Cup trophies, and 1
Community Shield, African and BBC Footballer of the year during his
stint in England.


JOHN MIKEL OBI



John Michael Nchekwube Obinna popularly known as Mikel Obi
joined London giants Chelsea after a tug of war with Manchester
United that saw FIFA intervene and act as a pacifier between the
two rivals. The matter was resolved and Chelsea were asked to pay
12million pounds in compensation to Manchester United and
4million pounds to his parent club, FC Lyn Oslo of Norway.
He made his EPL debut as a substitute and scored his first goal in
English football in 6-1 thumping of Macclesfield Town in January
2007 (FA Cup). He’s gone on to play in the League Cup, FA Cup,
and Champions League finals for the club. He’s the most decorated
Nigerian to play in the EPL; he has won a Premier league title, 4 FA
Cups, 1 League Cup and 1 Champions League medal during his 5
years at Chelsea. He’s also made 160 appearances for the club
scoring 2goals.


YAKUBU ‘YAK’ AIYEGBENI



After a tremendous display in the 2002/2003 Champions League
campaign in which he scored 7 goals in 8 matches, he earned a
loan deal to Portsmouth FC, who were fighting for promotion in the
Championship. He helped them to the EPL before signing
permanently.
He is the third highest goal scorer in the history of the Nigerian
national team. He made his debut in English football as a 57
minute substitute for Vincent Pericard in 1-all draw against Brighton
& Hove Albion on 18 June 2004 and scored his first goal against
Grimsby in his first start.
He played 37 times in Portsmouth’s debut season in the EPL
scoring 16 times; he scored his debut EPL goal in the 1-1 draw
against Manchester City (his second match).
He went on to represent Middlesborough, Everton, Leicester City
and Blackburn Rovers. He scored 29, 26, 25, 17 EPL goals for
Pompey, Middlesborough, Everton and Blackburn Rovers
respectively. He has a total of 97goals in 213 appearances;
averaging 0.45goal per game.
