Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has praised Fulham, currently 9th in the Premier League, and singled out Nigerian star Alex Iwobi as one of their top performers this season.
Fulham have managed to take points off big teams like Tottenham, Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. If they manage to win all of their remaining games, they have a strong chance of qualifying for European competitions next season.
Former Arsenal player Iwobi is having the best season of his career so far. He has contributed 8 goals and 5 assists in 32 matches. With six games still left in the season, the Nigerian star could add even more to his tally.
One of the reasons behind Iwobi’s improved performance is the way coach Marco Silva has utilized him as an active winger. In that role, Iwobi has found more freedom to express himself.
He frequently drifts into midfield when needed or moves wide to the flanks, putting himself in good positions to take shots from outside the box. This tactical flexibility has allowed Iwobi to shine more than ever before.
