Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi is poised for a stellar season with Fulham, according to manager Marco Silva. The Portuguese tactician believes the Nigerian midfielder is on the brink of his best-ever Premier League campaign.
Iwobi has been a revelation for Fulham, playing a pivotal role in their impressive start to the 2024/25 season. His creative playmaking, goal-scoring ability, and tireless work ethic have made him a fan favorite at Craven Cottage.
Against Brentford, Iwobi’s incisive passing and clever movement created numerous opportunities for his teammates. His assist for Fulham’s second goal was a testament to his vision and precision.
The Nigerian international continued his fine form in the subsequent match against Crystal Palace. His goal and assist showcased his versatility and ability to impact the game in various ways.
Silva, who has worked with Iwobi at Everton, is full of praise for the midfielder. He believes that Iwobi’s versatility and adaptability make him a valuable asset to the team. The Portuguese coach has deployed Iwobi in various positions, including the right wing, where he has thrived.
“I know him very well,” Silva said. “I brought him to Everton, and when we got the chance to have him with us here at Fulham, it was a moment for us to go to sign him. First, he is a really versatile player. He can play in many positions, and I know where he’s capable and where he feels he can perform better.”
Iwobi’s performances have not gone unnoticed by football pundits and fans alike. Many believe that he is on the verge of a breakout season and could establish himself as one of the Premier League’s top midfielders.
As Fulham continues to challenge for a European spot, Iwobi’s contributions will be crucial to their success. With his talent, work ethic, and the support of his manager, the Nigerian international is well-positioned to achieve great things this season.
