“He’s doing way better now”- Arsenal legend Thierry Henry names Super Eagles star as one of Fulham’s top performers

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has named Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi as one of the top performers for English Premier League club Fulham this season, Soccernet.ng reports.

Fulham have outperformed themselves this season. They currently sit 9th in the Premier League after winning 13 of their 32 games.

The Cottagers have picked wins from opponents like Tottenham, Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. And if they win their remaining games this season, they almost sure of playing European football next season.

Former Arsenal star Iwobi has been a standout performer for the Cottagers this season. In fact, on a personal note, he is having his best-ever season since he turned pro, as he has contributed eight goals and five assists in 32 appearances.

Henry, who is one of the greatest ever to play in the Premier League, has been impressed with Fulham, and he mentioned Iwobi as one of the players who deserves plaudits.

How good has Alex Iwobi been for Fulhan this season?

Alex Iwobi is enjoying his best-ever campaign this season. Since he turned pro, he has never scored up to eight goals. His previous best was five, which he had last season.

The Super Eagles midfielder has also registered eight assists, which is his third-best. Iwobi has contributed as high as seven and six assists previously. With six games left this season, he could even do more.

Coach Silva has used the Super Eagles star as an invested winger, and that has allowed Iwobi to express himself a bit better, as he roams around the midfield an the wings. That also puts him in a good position to shoot from the edge of the box a lot of times.

Iwobi will look to end the campaign on a high and help Fulham qualify for Europe in what would be a historic moment for the club.
