|
||||||
|
<br>'Yeah, that actually plays a part (in revealing myself),' the Fulham midfielder says.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
|
||||||
|
<br>'My daddy's in the house and he's probably heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't wish to suffice off so I thought let's do something various that nobody else has. I literally told the hairdresser to 'reveal yourself' but not too wild. It's wild since it's red and purple at the moment however I like it. My papa's accepted it now so I'm easy.'<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>It's a plain contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal debut under Arsene Wenger in 2015.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Iwobi insists that he's constantly had the frame of mind of sensation like there's more to life than football but has just revealed himself more over the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, releasing singles and launching his charitable structure, Project 17.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'It's constantly been my hobby to do music, charity work and things in style. But it's just just recently that I've been revealing myself a lot more, to reveal individuals that I am not just a footballer. There is more to life, he states.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Alexi Iwobi has made his finest start to a Premier League season with 5 goals in 15 matches<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The 28-year-old says his multi-coloured braids have actually contributed to his enhancement<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>It's a stark contrast from the short-haired teen who made his debut under Arsene Wenger<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>This weekend, the 28-year-old will have his work eliminated as Fulham take on league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and on Sunday, he will be back in London feeding 100 families for Christmas as part of Project 17.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his hometown, where whatever will be free in a local grocery store.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'You know what Liverpool are like - it's going to be an extreme game but whether I get cramp or have no hamstrings, I will be there on Sunday,' Iwobi tensions.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'In the home I was raised in, my father naturally simply provided back. To people in Nigeria, to his family and even individuals in the street - he would just buy bottles of water and provide to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and daddy are has actually motivated me to provide to others, whether they are lucky or less fortunate. With the position I remain in, I feel like it's just ideal with the impact I have that I give back as well.'<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Through these efforts off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the secret to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has actually currently scored more objectives than in any other season, with 5 in the league for a Fulham side that is simply two points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'As a youngster you wish to do your finest to impress the supervisor and want everyone to know you are totally focused on football. But it (freedom) includes age, being free and not being pushed about unfavorable comments. If it's useful, you don't mind the criticism,' he says.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'You need to be strong psychologically. Players do well when they're positive and with me, feeling great to reveal myself on and off the pitch, I almost feel unstoppable. And when you have people that back you, it actually plays a part.'<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>One of those people that backs him is Marco Silva, who [signed Iwobi](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/nigerian-newspapers/daily-trust-newspaper/) for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't hesitate when he had the opportunity to bring him back to London on Deadline Day in 2015. After his brace versus Brighton recently, Silva said it was Iwobi's 'finest season in the Premier League so far' and he agrees.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The 28[-year-old](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/legit-ng-news/) will feed 100 households on Sunday for Christmas as part of Project 17<br>
|

|
<br>Iwobi firmly insists that he's always had the frame of mind of sensation like there's more to life than football<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the first Premier League footballer to release a single with his launching song 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a follow-up 'What's Luv?'<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'I have actually been associated with a great deal of goals, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You might state it's my best start to the season - I simply need to keep it going and make certain it's my finest season. That's the goal' says Iwobi, who credits Silva for giving him 'the license to express' himself. 'It's great to have a manager who gives you the confidence to do that,' he states.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the first Premier League footballer to launch a single with his launching tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is described as a celebration of his African roots with a blend of Afro-Swing combined with Rap".<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>It's also a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing room, with Fulham making their best start to a top-flight season considering that 2003-04.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'I do not get it on in the dressing room however when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he simply can't assist himself, Iwobi reveals.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'He is tapping the manager to listen to the song. The very first time he (Silva) heard 'What's Luv?' he was just vibing like, 'is this Alex?' and Calvin resembled 'yes it's Alex!' He stated it wasn't bad. I understand the very first time he didn't comprehend what was said but he delighted in the beat. So it's a win-win.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having great feedback from the team - even individuals who do not speak English as their mother tongue like the Brazilians, they're vibing as well,' adds Iwobi.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Silva's plan at Everton was to develop around the midfielder however he was sacked four months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez hardly played him at all.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Iwobi would take a trip throughout the M62 to Manchester and play seven-a-side with his mates in disguise to enjoy his football again. Now that joy has actually been discovered after his ₤ 22M move in 2015.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'Everyone's state of mind is one for all and all for one so that's absolutely assisting us this season. We have actually been having team meals and bonding which's brought a lot of togetherness, says Iwobi.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Marco Silva initially signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later in 2023<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Iwobi will have his work cut out as Fulham handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to eat. We arranged a trip to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), came back then went again with the Tottenham and Brighton results. We seem like we're ready to fly and we can do anything together.'<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Another group meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of 3 games in 7 days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wants to take us out. That's another little bit of free food so I'm not grumbling,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's truly great. It resembles one huge household.'<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>But first, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having actually taken points from Arsenal last week and directly losing at Man City in October in a game where Pep Guardiola had plenty of credit for Fulham.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'It reveals we have the ability to complete with anyone. We are not frightened. Hopefully it will be the exact same versus Liverpool. We are going there to get a result,' Iwobi firmly insists.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders may well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing space.<br>
