Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu, has been rated as the sixth tallest outfield player in Premier League history, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Recall, Onuachu penned a three-and-a-half-year deal with Southampton from Genk after agreeing on a £15.8m deal plus add-ons for the lanky striker.

Onuachu, who is 201 cm in height, didn't set England alight after joining the Saints in January 2023.

Meanwhile, the tallest outfield player in Premier League history is fellow African, Ivorian striker Lacina Traoré, who stood at 2.03m (6 ft 8 in) during his brief loan spell with Everton in the 2013/14 season.

While goalkeepers usually hold the absolute height records, several towering outfield figures have made their mark.
