<br>Alex Iwobi is discussing the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairdo has his football in what he views as his best start to a Premier League season so far.<br>
|
||||
<br>'Yeah, that in fact plays a part (in revealing myself),' the Fulham midfielder states.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|

<br>['My father's](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/tv-stations/channels-tv-news/) in your home and he's most likely heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't wish to cut it off so I believed let's do something different that no one else has. I literally informed the hairdresser to 'reveal yourself' but not too wild. It's wild due to the fact that it's red and purple at the minute but I like it. My papa's accepted it now so I'm simple.'<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 firmly insists that he's constantly had the mindset of sensation like there's more to life than football but has actually just revealed himself more over the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, releasing songs and releasing his charitable structure, Project 17.<br>
|
||||
<br>'It's always been my hobby to do music, charity work and things in style. But it's just just recently that I have actually been expressing myself a lot more, to show individuals that I am not simply a footballer. There is more to life, he states.<br>
|
||||
<br>Alexi Iwobi has actually made his best start to a Premier League season with 5 objectives in 15 matches<br>
|
||||
<br>The 28-year-old says his multi-coloured braids have actually added to his on-pitch enhancement<br>
|
||||
<br>It's a plain 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](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/investigative-news/premium-times/) for Christmas as part of Project 17.<br>
|
||||
<br>For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his home town, where whatever will be totally free in a local supermarket.<br>
|
||||
<br>'You know what Liverpool are like - it's going to be an intense video game but whether I get cramp or have no hamstrings, I will be there on Sunday,' Iwobi stresses.<br>
|
||||
<br>'In your home I was raised in, my daddy naturally simply returned. To people in Nigeria, to his household and even people in the street - he would just purchase bottles of water and provide to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and father are has actually inspired me to offer to others, whether they are fortunate or less lucky. With the position I am in, I feel like it's just right with the influence I have that I return too.'<br>
|
||||
<br>Through these efforts off the pitch, Iwobi believes is the secret to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has actually currently scored more goals than in any other season, with five in the league for a Fulham side that is simply two points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.<br>
|
||||
<br>'As a child you wish to do your best to impress the supervisor and desire everyone to know you are fully concentrated on football. But it (liberty) comes with age, being totally free and not being pressed about negative remarks. If it's useful, you don't mind the criticism,' he states.<br>
|
||||
<br>'You need to be strong mentally. Players succeed when they're confident and with me, feeling great to express myself on and off the pitch, I practically feel unstoppable. And when you have individuals that back you, it actually plays a part.'<br>
|
||||
<br>One of those people that backs him is Marco Silva, who signed Iwobi for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't [hesitate](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/nigerian-newspapers/daily-post-newspaper/) when he had the chance to bring him back to London on Deadline Day in 2015. After his brace versus Brighton last week, Silva stated it was Iwobi's 'finest season in the Premier League so far' and he agrees.<br>
|
||||
<br>The 28-year-old will feed 100 households on Sunday for Christmas as part of Project 17<br>
|
||||
<br>Iwobi insists that he's always had the state 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 launch a single with his launching song 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a follow-up 'What's Luv?'<br>
|
||||
<br>'I have been associated with a great deal of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You might say it's my best start to the season - I just have to keep it going and ensure it's my finest season. That's the aim' says Iwobi, who credits Silva for offering him 'the license to reveal' himself. 'It's good to have a manager who provides you the self-confidence to do that,' he states.<br>
|
||||
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the very first Premier League footballer to release a single with his debut tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is explained as an event of his African roots with a mix of Afro-Swing combined with Rap".<br>
|
||||
<br>It's likewise a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing room, with Fulham making their finest start to a top-flight season because 2003-04.<br>
|
||||
<br>'I do not get it on in the dressing space but when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he just can't help himself, Iwobi reveals.<br>
|
||||
<br>'He is tapping the supervisor to listen to the song. The first time he (Silva) heard 'What's Luv?' he was simply vibing like, 'is this Alex?' and Calvin was like 'yes it's Alex!' He stated it wasn't bad. I understand the very first time he didn't understand what was said however 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 the individuals who do not speak English as their very first language like the Brazilians, they're vibing too,' adds Iwobi.<br>
|
||||
<br>Silva's strategy at Everton was to build around the midfielder however he was sacked 4 months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez barely played him at all.<br>
|
||||
<br>Iwobi would travel throughout the M62 to Manchester and play seven-a-side with his mates in camouflage to enjoy his football once again. Now that pleasure has been uncovered after his ₤ 22M move last year.<br>
|
||||
<br>'Everyone's mindset is one for all and all for one so that's definitely helping us this season. We've been having group meals and bonding and that's brought a lot of togetherness, says Iwobi.<br>
|
||||
<br>Marco Silva first signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later in 2023<br>
|
||||
<br>Iwobi will have his work eliminated as Fulham take on league leaders Liverpool at Anfield<br>
|
||||
<br>'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to consume. We arranged a journey to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), returned then went again with the Tottenham and Brighton results. We seem like we're all set to fly and we can do anything together.'<br>
|
||||
<br>Another team meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of 3 games in 7 days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wishes to take us out. That's another bit of free food so I'm not complaining,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's actually great. It's like one big family.'<br>
|
||||
<br>But first, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having actually taken points from Arsenal recently and directly losing at Man City in October in a game where Pep Guardiola was complete 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 very same against Liverpool. We are going there to get an outcome,' Iwobi firmly insists.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://landing.bet9ja.com/aviator-bet9ja?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|

<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>
