Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze has publicly credited his international teammate, Alex Iwobi, for orchestrating his career-reviving move to Fulham, calling it the greatest decision of his life, even if the British winter is currently his biggest enemy.

Since arriving at Craven Cottage on loan from AC Milan, AFCON 2025 star Chukwueze has looked like a man reborn.

The Nigerian winger, who struggled to find his rhythm in Italy, has rediscovered the electric pace and flair that made him a global star.

However, it is now clear that the move was not just a scouting masterclass by the club, but a successful recruitment mission by Iwobi himself.

A tale of two realities

In an honest and humorous exchange typical of Chukwueze that has quickly captured the attention of fans, the two stars discussed the transition.

While the football has been sublime, the plummeting temperatures in London have left the former Villarreal man questioning his friend’s honesty regarding the English climate.

“Alex, Alex, the best thing you did in your life was to allow me to come to this club,” Chukwueze told Iwobi during a lighthearted moment in a video on TikTok.

The sentiment shows the deep bond between the Nigerians in the London team, proving that the Super Eagles connection extends far beyond international breaks.

For Chukwueze, escaping the sidelines in Milan for the starting lineup at Fulham where he has been cooking has been a transformational experience.

“You Did Not Tell Me!”

The gratitude, however, had its limits. When Iwobi then questioned why his teammate seemed to be constantly shivering or complaining about the London breeze, Chukwueze did not hold back.

“The worst thing you did also was that you didn’t tell me there was cold,” he added with a grin.

The banter indicates a refreshing atmosphere within the Fulham dressing room. With Iwobi acting as both an agent and a mentor, Chukwueze has integrated seamlessly into the squad, providing the attacking spark the fans have been craving.

As the duo continue to shine on the pitch, Fulham supporters are reaping the rewards of this Nigerian partnership. If Chukwueze continues his current form, the London frost will be a small price to pay for what is becoming a sensational Premier League comeback.
