EPL is not for everybody.
check the likes of.memphis n di Maria when they came to man United. But when they left to another club they both performed well.
EPL na mad league oo
That does not mean they are not good players.

As for my own personal opinion Julius Aghahowa is the biggest flop in EPL ,a dreaded striker in the Ukrainian Premier League in this playing days. Player of this caliber could have done better in EPL.
The next flop is Ahmed Musa, infact make we just rest the case.
Let me just add this , i will give the best Nigeria EPL play to Yakubu Aiyegbeni he was hot during his playing days & Nwankwo Kanu.
Most successful will go to John Mikel Obi.

Hello guys who do you think is the biggest Nigerian flop in the EPL




Don't forget Yakubu Aiyegheni is our Best Nigeria striker in EPL


I know some people will only remember his miss against Korea that's not EPL

How many goal did Okocha scored during his time in the EPL. If less than 2 then he is the biggest failure to me.

Where is Obinna Nsofor?
Where is Seyi Olajengbesi?

8 Finidi George didn’t live up to expectations for Ipswich as much as he is one of my favorite Nigerian players & amongst the best winger Nigeria ever produced.

He was fantastic for Real Betis & average for Real Mallorca but was not so good when he got to EPL for Ipswich so he went back to Real Mallorca after a very short spell

Please remove Ahmed Musa from that group of failures.

Ahmed remains an enigma in any game of soccer
Baba he was a big flop at Leicester city

Where do you classify Obafemi Martins...To me he's a great player. Did not do too bad for Newcastle United. Oba goal ,Oba wonder
Re: Top 7 Nigerian Flops In English Premier League History by Buffalo2(m): 9:36pm On Jun 30, 2020
Interestingly, Yakubu Aiyegbeni is Nigeria's highest scorer in EPL with 95 goals. That's incredible!

Shittu didn't flop. He was a defender so you can't expect goals and assist

Emmanuel Amuneke played briefly for Barca but injuries were his Achilles Heel... quite literaly.

According to Wiki he played 19 times scoring just a goal. His peak was really in Sporting Lisbon, CR7's club of his youth and he was a regular in the Champions league where Barca scouts spotted him.

As for Real Madrid the closest any Nigerian has gotten to the Galacticos according to Google is Mutiu Adepoju playing for their B team.
