Ghanaian quartet Samuel Johnson, Yaw Preko, Stephen Appiah and Andre Ayew have made appearances for the Yellow Canaries.
Signed from Danish club Brondby in 1993, Uche Okechukwu is the first Nigerian footballer to play for Fenerbahce and spent the longest period at the club, nine years, before transferring to İstanbulspor.
