Alex Iwobi credits Fulham's strong team spirit and manager Marco Silva's approach for his personal success and the team's impressive Premier League performance.
Alex Iwobi has described Fulham 's team spirit as 'one big brotherhood' and says the club's success is allowing him to enjoy his 'best season'. The 28-year-old midfielder has already matched his best goal return in the Premier League , reaching last season's tally of five goals with half of the campaign remaining. The Nigeria international has been an ever-present in the league for the Whites and has also provided three assists for his team-mates.
'You can see it on the pitch, but off the pitch what the cameras don't catch is that we're really one big brotherhood. It's a nice environment, the chemistry is really good and I feel like that's helping us get the results we need.'Iwobi played Santa ahead of the festive season with a Christmas shop in Canning Town where he grew up Iwobi says Fulham boss Marco Silva has created a 'sense of togetherness' that is empowering the squad and bringing out the best in him.'The manager gives me that license and freedom to try and get into more goalscoring opportunities. Even if I make a mistake he says: 'Alex, go again.' 'Having that confidence from him, my team-mates backing me, it makes you feel almost unstoppable. You are willing to try and do anything on the pitch.' The west Londoners have not finished higher than 10th in the Premier League since 2011-12, and Iwobi hopes to remain in contention for the European places. 'We have the players and I haven't played in Europe in a long time, so it's a dream I want to achieve again,' Iwobi added. 'We're not scared of no-one. We're confident that we can compete against anyone and take three points. The sky's the limit.'Iwobi helped Nigeria reach the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where the Super Eagles lost 2-1 to hosts Ivory Coast Over the next few months Iwobi is also aiming to improve Nigeria's fortunes in qualifying for the 2026 Fifa World Cu
