'AFCON final' - Jay Jay Okocha's nephew Iwobi chooses Nigeria Super Eagles again
Alex Iwobi, nephew of Jay Jay Okocha, reveals his preference for scoring a last-minute winner in the AFCON final for Nigeria over a Premier League hat-trick for Fulham in a recent Capital Xtra podcast.
Iwobi speaks on his move to Fulham
In a recent interview reported by Fulham Fan News, Iwobi revealed that his move to Fulham was almost not realised.
He disclosed that he was originally slated to join Nottingham Forest at that time; however, their offer was not substantial enough.
)
Iwobi said, “There was interest, the main interest came from Nottingham Forest. The manager at the time he called me and asked what I was thinking about joining.
“Ten minutes later, Ola (Aina) has called me and he’s like, ‘Alex, you coming to Nottingham Forest, the manager just called me and said, persuade Alex’.
“I could have been linking up with Ola, but eventually they didn’t put in a bid and only Fulham did, so that was that.”
Alex Iwobi's move to Fulham has proven to be beneficial, as he has become a key player for the club.
This season marks Iwobi's most productive in terms of goal contributions since becoming a professional, a significant improvement largely attributed to Silva's influence.
