Iwobi reveals why he dumped Everton for Premier League rivals

Super Eagles attacking midfielder Alex Iwobi completed a move to Fulham from Everton on transfer deadline day for an undisclosed fee.

The Nigerian international's performance for the Toffees earned him a move to the London side this season.

The former Arsenal star will have another opportunity to work with Portuguese manager Marco Silva again after their little time together at Goodison Park in 2019.

The Super Eagles star told FFCtv the reason he dumped Everton for a move to Fulham on transfer deadline day.

“Marco Silva spoke to me and told me about the ambitions of the club[Fulham], and where he wants to go,” Iwobi told the club’s official website.

“I’m on board, and I’m hoping I can bring something to Fulham. He wants to challenge for things, and I feel like he gave me the confidence boost. I hope I’m able to repay the faith.”
The addition of Iwobi and fellow Nigerian international Calvin Bassey to the Fulham squad could help them secure a place in Europe next season.

The Cottagers had a good run in the English Premier League last season but failed to secure a place in Europe, but they could achieve such a feat in the 2023/24 campaign.
