EPL: Why I joined Fulham – Iwobi

Alex Iwobi has disclosed the rationale behind his choice to sign with Fulham, a Premier League club.

Iwobi made the move to the London-based club from Everton on the transfer deadline day.

Fulham completed the deal for a total of £22 million, including additional incentives.

This move reunites the Nigerian international with Marco Silva, with whom he previously worked during their time at Everton.

“Marco Silva spoke to me and told me about the ambitions of the club[Fulham], and where he wants to go,” Iwobi told the club’s official website.

“I’m on board, and I’m hoping I can bring something to Fulham. He wants to challenge for things and I feel like he gave me the confidence boost. I hope I’m able to repay the faith.”
