<br>Alex Iwobi is discussing the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairdo has helped his football in what he views as his finest start to a Premier League season so far.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||
<br>'Yeah, that really plays a part (in revealing myself),' the Fulham midfielder says.<br>
|
||||
<br>'My daddy's in the home and he's probably heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't want to cut it off so I believed let's do something various that nobody else has. I literally told the hair stylist to 'reveal yourself' but not too wild. It's wild since it's red and purple at the moment but 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 firmly insists that he's constantly had the frame of mind of sensation like there's more to life than football however has actually only revealed himself more in the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, launching songs and releasing his charitable foundation, Project 17.<br>
|
||||
<br>'It's constantly been my hobby to do music, charity work and things in fashion. But it's only recently that I've been expressing myself a lot more, to show people that I am not just a footballer. There is more to life, he states.<br>
|
||||
<br>Alexi Iwobi has actually made his finest start to a Premier League season with five goals in 15 matches<br>
|
||||
<br>The 28-year-old says his multi-coloured braids have contributed to his on-pitch improvement<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 cut out as Fulham handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and on Sunday, he will be back in London feeding 100 households for Christmas as part of Project 17.<br>
|
||||
<br>For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his hometown, where everything will be free in a [local grocery](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/business/businesspost/) store.<br>
|
||||
<br>'You know what Liverpool resemble - it's going to be an extreme game however whether I get cramp or have no hamstrings, I will be there on Sunday,' Iwobi .<br>
|
||||
<br>'In your home I was raised in, my dad naturally just provided back. To individuals in Nigeria, to his family and even people in the street - he would simply buy bottles of water and provide them to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and daddy are has actually motivated me to provide to others, whether they are lucky or less lucky. With the position I am in, I seem like it's just right with the impact I have that I return also.'<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 just two points behind [fifth-placed Nottingham](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/business/businessday-news/) Forest.<br>
|
||||
<br>'As a child you wish to do your best to impress the manager and desire everybody to understand you are fully concentrated on football. But it (flexibility) includes age, being free and not being pushed about unfavorable comments. If it's useful, you do not mind the criticism,' he says.<br>
|
||||
<br>'You need to be strong mentally. Players do well when they're confident and with me, feeling great to express myself on and off the pitch, I almost feel unstoppable. And when you have individuals that back you, it actually plays a part.'<br>
|
||||
<br>One of those individuals that backs him is Marco Silva, who signed Iwobi for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't think twice when he had the chance to bring him back to London on Deadline Day last year. After his brace against Brighton recently, Silva stated it was Iwobi's 'best season in the Premier League so far' and he agrees.<br>

|
||||
<br>Iwobi insists that he's constantly had the frame of mind of feeling 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 debut song 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?'<br>
|
||||
<br>'I have actually been included in a lot of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You might say it's my finest start to the season - I simply have to keep it going and make sure it's my finest season. That's the aim' says Iwobi, who credits Silva for giving him 'the license to express' himself. 'It's nice to have a manager who provides you the self-confidence to do that,' he says.<br>
|
||||
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the first Premier League [footballer](https://www.yohaig.ng/) to launch a single with his launching tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is explained as a celebration of his African roots with a blend of Afro-Swing mixed with Rap".<br>
|
||||
<br>It's also a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing space, with Fulham making their finest start to a top-flight season since 2003-04.<br>
|
||||
<br>'I don't get it on in the dressing space but when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he just 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 understand what was stated but he took pleasure in the beat. So it's a win-win.<br>
|
||||
<br>'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having good feedback from the group - even individuals who do not speak English as their very first language like the Brazilians, they're vibing also,' includes Iwobi.<br>
|
||||
<br>Silva's strategy 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 barely 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 happiness has been uncovered after his ₤ 22M move in 2015.<br>
|
||||
<br>'Everyone's mindset is one for all and all for one so that's certainly helping us this season. We've been having group meals and bonding and that's brought a great deal of togetherness, states Iwobi.<br>
|
||||
<br>Marco Silva initially signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later on 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 eat. We arranged a journey 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 video games in seven days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wishes to take us out. That's another little bit of complimentary food so I'm not complaining,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's really nice. It resembles one big household.'<br>
|
||||
<br>But initially, 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 video game where Pep Guardiola had lots of credit for Fulham.<br>
|
||||
<br>'It reveals we have the ability to compete with anyone. We are not scared. Hopefully it will be the exact same against Liverpool. We are going there to get a result,' Iwobi firmly insists.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)

<br>Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders might well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing room.<br>
