Former England international Gary Lineker has heaped praise on Alex Iwobi, hailing the Nigeria international’s outstanding performances for Fulham this season.
Iwobi has established himself as one of the standout performers under Marco Silva, contributing five goals and three assists in 19 league appearances for the Whites.
Softfootball notes that Lineker credited the midfielder as a key reason behind Fulham’s strong campaign this term. He said:
Iwobi has had a terrific season. He’s been around the Premier League for a while.”
Lineker made the comments while discussing the Premier League’s standout performers on his podcast, The Rest Is Football, singling out Iwobi’s consistency and versatility as central to Fulham’s positive results this season.
Fulham currently sit eighth in the Premier League table, exceeding many pre-season expectations for the club.
Silva’s side will look to continue their momentum when they host Ipswich Town at Craven Cottage in their next league fixture, with Iwobi expected to once again play a central role in their attacking approach against a struggling Ipswich outfit.
