Fulham Manager Marco Silva Hails Alex Iwobi as Season’s Best Player
Fulham’s impressive 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on November 9 propelled them to eighth place in the Premier League, showcasing their ambitions for the season. The victory was largely due to the contributions of several key players, including Alex Iwobi.
Iwobi played a pivotal role in the match, providing a crucial assist for Harry Wilson’s second goal. His performance was just the latest in a string of impressive displays this season, during which he has scored two goals and provided two assists for the London club.
Fulham’s success this season can be attributed to the collective effort of the team, with Marco Silva praising the hard work and dedication of his players. In particular, he highlighted the impressive form of Harry Wilson, who has been competing fiercely for a starting spot with other talented teammates.
In a post-match press conference, Silva commended Wilson, saying, “He’s doing the right things. He’s not doing anything wrong to not start. He’s competing against very good players, too.” He also had high praise for Iwobi, stating, “Alex, for example, is being one of the best players so far this season, if not the best. From the first day of pre-season, he’s been so, so brilliant.”
It’s worth noting that Iwobi has played 13 times in all competitions for Fulham this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists. His contract with the club is set to expire on June 30, 2028.
