<br>'My papa's in your home and he's probably heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't wish to suffice off so I believed let's do something various that nobody else has. I actually informed the hair stylist to 'reveal yourself' however not too wild. It's wild because it's red and purple at the minute however I like it. My daddy'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 launching under [Arsene Wenger](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/naijanews-com/) in 2015.<br>

<br>'It's always been my hobby to do music, charity work and things in style. But it's only just recently that I've been revealing myself a lot more, to reveal people that I am not simply a footballer. There is more to life, he says.<br>

<br>Alexi Iwobi has made his best start to a Premier League season with 5 objectives in 15 matches<br>

<br>For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his home town, where everything will be free in a local grocery store.<br>

|
||||
<br>'In your house I was raised in, my daddy naturally simply returned. To people in Nigeria, to his family and even individuals in the street - he would just purchase bottles of water and provide them to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and father are has motivated me to offer to others, whether they are fortunate or less fortunate. With the position I remain in, I seem like it's only best with the influence I have that I provide back too.'<br>
|
||||
<br>Through these efforts off the pitch, Iwobi believes is the secret to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has already 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 youngster you wish to do your best to impress the manager and want everybody to understand you are totally concentrated on football. But it (liberty) features age, being free and not being pressed about unfavorable comments. If it's positive, you don't mind the criticism,' he states.<br>
|
||||
<br>'You need to be strong mentally. Players succeed when they're positive 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 really plays a part.'<br>
|
||||
<br>Among those individuals that backs him is Marco Silva, who signed Iwobi for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't hesitate when he had the opportunity to bring him back to London on Deadline Day in 2015. After his brace against Brighton recently, Silva stated it was Iwobi's 'best season in the Premier League so far' and he concurs.<br>
|
||||
<br>The 28-year-old will feed 100 families on Sunday for Christmas as part of Project 17<br>
|
||||
<br>Iwobi firmly insists that he's always had the mindset of sensation like there's more to life than football<br>
|
||||
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the very 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 associated with a lot of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You might state it's my best start to the season - I simply have to keep it going and ensure it's my finest season. That's the aim' says Iwobi, who credits Silva for providing him 'the license to express' himself. 'It's great to have a manager who provides you the self-confidence to do that,' he says.<br>
|

<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the very first [Premier League](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/investigative-news/peoples-gazette-news/) footballer to release a single with his debut tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is referred to as an event of his African roots with a blend 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 best start to a top-flight season considering that 2003-04.<br>
|
||||
<br>'I do not get it on in the dressing space however when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he simply can't assist himself, Iwobi exposes.<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 first time he didn't comprehend what was said but he took pleasure in the beat. So it's a win-win.<br>
|
||||
<br>'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having great feedback from the group - even the people who do not speak English as their first language like the Brazilians, they're vibing also,' adds Iwobi.<br>
|
||||
<br>Silva's plan at Everton was to develop around the midfielder but he was sacked four months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez hardly 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 camouflage to enjoy his football once again. Now that joy has been uncovered after his ₤ 22M relocation last year.<br>
|
||||
<br>'Everyone's frame of mind is one for all and all for one so that's absolutely helping us this season. We have actually been having team meals and bonding and that's brought a lot of togetherness, states 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 handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield<br>
|
||||
<br>'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to eat. We organised a trip to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), returned then went once again with the Tottenham and Brighton results. We feel like we're all set to fly and we can do anything together.'<br>
|
||||
<br>Another group meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of 3 games in seven days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wishes to take us out. That's another little bit of totally free food so I'm not grumbling,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's actually great. 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 narrowly losing at Man City in October in a video game where Pep Guardiola was full of credit for Fulham.<br>
|
||||
<br>'It reveals we have the ability to take on anybody. We are not scared. Hopefully it will be the very same versus Liverpool. We are going there to get an outcome,' Iwobi insists.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
