Fulham manager Marco Silva has praised Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi for his impressive adaptability and key contributions to the team this season. Iwobi, who has been instrumental in the club’s performances, has showcased his versatility by playing in various roles across the midfield and attack.
The 27-year-old, who has been a crucial figure for Fulham, has already netted five goals and provided three assists in the Premier League this season. Silva expressed his admiration for Iwobi’s ability to take on multiple positions while maintaining high levels of performance.
At a recent press conference, Silva highlighted Iwobi’s flexibility in fulfilling different tactical roles. “He enjoys the responsibility and the demands I put on him by playing in different positions.
He is a really versatile player; in addition to his quality, he can fulfil different roles,” Silva said. He went on to explain how Iwobi adapted to various positions during recent matches, emphasizing the midfielder’s crucial role in his team’s tactics.
“For example, his role against Tottenham last week was completely different from the one he had against Brighton,” Silva continued.
