As Chukwueze continued to lament the biting cold that accompanies life in the Premier League, Iwobi decided he had heard enough of the shivering winger’s grievances.

In a witty exchange that perfectly captures their close bond, Iwobi made it clear that his responsibilities as a friend do not include controlling the United Kingdom’s climate.

“I can’t keep you happy bro,” Iwobi replied, laughing off the accusation that he had somehow deceived his teammate about the weather.

The arrival of the AC Milan loanee has injected a new level of dynamism into the squad, and it is evident that the comfort level between the two Nigerians is a massive reason for their success on the pitch.

As long as the goals and assists continue to flow, the Fulham faithful will likely forgive Chukwueze for wearing an extra layer of thermal gear during training.
