Iwobi Opens up on how his Hairstyle, Fashion and Music have Actually Helped Him Alex Iwobi is speaking about the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairdo has helped his football in what he sees as his best start to a Premier League season up until now. ‘Yeah, that in fact plays a part (in expressing myself),’ the Fulham midfielder states. ‘My daddy’s in your house and he’s most likely heard me. He didn’t like that I coloured my hair. I got bored and didn’t want to cut it off so I thought let’s do something various that no one else has. I literally informed the hairdresser to ‘reveal yourself’ however not too wild. It’s wild due to the fact that it’s red and purple at the moment but I like it. My papa’s accepted it now so I’m easy.’ It’s a stark contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal debut under Arsene Wenger in 2015. Iwobi insists that he’s constantly had the mindset of sensation like there’s more to life than however has actually only revealed himself more in the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, launching singles and releasing his charitable foundation, Project 17. ‘It’s constantly been my hobby to do music, charity work and things in fashion. But it’s only recently that I’ve been revealing myself a lot more, to show people that I am not simply a footballer. There is more to life, he says. Alexi Iwobi has actually made his best start to a Premier League season with 5 objectives in 15 matches The 28-year-old says his multi-coloured braids have contributed to his on-pitch improvement It’s a plain contrast from the short-haired teen who made his launching under Arsene Wenger This weekend, the 28-year-old will have his work cut out as Fulham take on 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. For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his home town, where whatever will be totally free in a local supermarket. ‘You understand what Liverpool resemble – it’s going to be an intense game however whether I get cramp or have no hamstrings, I will exist on Sunday,’ Iwobi stresses. ‘In your house I was raised in, my dad naturally simply offered back. To individuals in Nigeria, to his household and even people in the street – he would simply buy bottles of water and offer them to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and dad are has motivated me to provide to others, whether they are fortunate or less fortunate. With the position I remain in, I feel like it’s just right with the influence I have that I give back also.’ Through these efforts off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the secret to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has currently scored more objectives than in any other season, with five in the league for a Fulham side that is just two points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest. ‘As a child you wish to do your finest to impress the manager and want everyone to understand you are fully concentrated on football. But it (freedom) features age, being totally free and not being pressed about unfavorable comments. If it’s useful, you don’t mind the criticism,’ he says. ‘You need to be strong psychologically. Players succeed 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 truly plays a part.’ Among 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 opportunity to bring him back to London on Deadline Day last year. After his brace versus Brighton recently, Silva stated it was Iwobi’s ‘best season in the Premier League up until now’ and he agrees. The 28-year-old will feed 100 households on Sunday for Christmas as part of Project 17 Iwobi firmly insists that he’s always had the state of mind of feeling like there’s more to life than football 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 released a follow-up ‘What’s Luv?’ ‘I have been included in a great deal of goals, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You could say it’s my best start to the season – I just have to keep it going and make sure it’s my best season. That’s the goal’ states Iwobi, who credits Silva for offering him ‘the license to reveal’ himself. ‘It’s nice to have a supervisor who provides you the self-confidence to do that,’ he says. Earlier this year, Iwobi ended up being the very first Premier League footballer to launch a single with his debut tune ‘Don’t Shoot’ and in November released a follow-up ‘What’s Luv?’ which is described as an event of his African roots with a blend of Afro-Swing combined with Rap”. It’s likewise a tune that Silva’s enjoying in the dressing room, with Fulham making their best start to a top-flight season because 2003-04. ‘I do not get it on in the dressing room but when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he just can’t assist himself, Iwobi reveals. ‘He is tapping the manager to listen to the tune. The very first time he (Silva) heard ‘What’s Luv?’ he was just vibing like, ‘is this Alex?’ and Calvin was like ‘yes it’s Alex!’ He stated it wasn’t bad. I know the first time he didn’t understand what was said but he enjoyed the beat. So it’s a win-win. ‘Everyone vibes with it and I’m having excellent feedback from the group – even the individuals who don’t speak English as their very first language like the Brazilians, they’re vibing too,’ includes Iwobi. Silva’s plan at Everton was to develop around the midfielder but he was sacked 4 months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez hardly played him at all. 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 pleasure has actually been found after his ₤ 22M move in 2015. ‘Everyone’s mindset is one for all and all for one so that’s certainly helping us this season. We’ve been having team meals and bonding which’s brought a great deal of togetherness, states Iwobi. Marco Silva first signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later on in 2023 Iwobi will have his work cut out as Fulham take on league leaders Liverpool at Anfield ‘Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to consume. We organised a trip 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 prepared to fly and we can do anything together.’ Another team meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of three video games in 7 days over Christmas. ‘The gaffer desires to take us out. That’s another little totally free food so I’m not complaining,’ jokes Iwobi. ‘It’s truly great. It resembles one huge household.’ But first, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having taken points from Arsenal recently and narrowly losing at Man City in October in a game where Pep Guardiola was full of credit for Fulham. ‘It reveals we have the ability to take on anyone. We are not terrified. Hopefully it will be the very same against Liverpool. We are going there to get a result,’ Iwobi insists. Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot’s league-leaders may well be hearing ‘What’s Luv’ blasting out from the away dressing room. FulhamAlex Iwobi
