[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)<br>Alex Iwobi is talking about the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairstyle has actually helped his football in what he sees as his best start to a Premier League season up until now.<br>
<br>'Yeah, that really plays a part (in expressing myself),' the Fulham midfielder says.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>'My father's in your home and he's most likely heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't wish to suffice off so I believed let's do something different that nobody else has. I literally informed the hair [stylist](https://www.yohaig.ng/) to 'express yourself' however not too wild. It's wild due to the fact that it's red and purple at the moment but I like it. My dad's accepted it now so I'm easy.'<br>
<br>It's a plain contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal launching under Arsene Wenger in 2015.<br>
<br>Iwobi firmly insists that he's always had the mindset of sensation like there's more to life than football however has actually just revealed himself more over the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, launching singles and launching his charitable foundation, Project 17.<br>
<br>'It's constantly been my pastime to do music, charity work and things in style. But it's just just recently that I've been expressing myself a lot more, to reveal people that I am not simply a footballer. There is more to life, he states.<br>
<br>Alexi Iwobi has actually made his best start to a Premier League season with five objectives in 15 matches<br>
<br>The 28-year-old states his multi-coloured braids have actually added to his on-pitch improvement<br>
<br>It's a from the short-haired teen who made his launching under Arsene Wenger<br>
<br>This weekend, the 28-year-old will have his work eliminated as Fulham handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and on Sunday, he will be back in London feeding 100 households for Christmas as part of Project 17.<br>
<br>For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his hometown, where everything will be complimentary in a regional supermarket.<br>
<br>'You understand what Liverpool resemble - it's going to be an intense game however whether I get constrain or have no hamstrings, I will exist on Sunday,' Iwobi tensions.<br>
<br>'In your house I was raised in, my daddy naturally simply offered back. To individuals in Nigeria, to his family and even individuals in the street - he would just purchase bottles of water and provide to [neighbours](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/forums/nairaland-forum/). Seeing how my mum and daddy are has motivated me to offer to others, whether they are lucky or less fortunate. With the position I remain in, I feel like it's only best with the influence I have that I offer back as well.'<br>
<br>Through these initiatives off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the trick to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has already scored more objectives than in any other season, with 5 in the league for a Fulham side that is simply 2 points behind [fifth-placed Nottingham](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/tv-stations/nta-news/) Forest.<br>
<br>'As a child you want to do your best to impress the supervisor and want everyone to understand you are totally focused on football. But it (flexibility) comes with age, being totally free and not being pushed about negative remarks. If it's useful, you don't mind the criticism,' he says.<br>
<br>'You need to be strong mentally. Players succeed when they're positive and with me, feeling great to reveal myself on and off the pitch, I nearly feel unstoppable. And when you have individuals that back you, it really plays a part.'<br>
<br>One of those people that backs him is Marco Silva, who signed Iwobi for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't hesitate when he had the opportunity to bring him back to London on Deadline Day last year. After his brace against Brighton last week, Silva stated it was Iwobi's 'finest season in the Premier League so far' and he agrees.<br>
<br>The 28-year-old will feed 100 households on Sunday for Christmas as part of Project 17<br>
<br>Iwobi firmly insists that he's constantly had the state of mind of sensation like there's more to life than football<br>
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the first Premier League footballer to release a single with his launching tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?'<br>
<br>'I have actually been associated with a lot of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You could state it's my best start to the season - I just need to keep it going and make sure it's my finest season. That's the goal' states Iwobi, who credits Silva for giving him 'the license to reveal' himself. 'It's good to have a supervisor who offers you the confidence to do that,' he states.<br>
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi ended up being the first Premier League footballer to launch a single with his debut song 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is referred to as a celebration of his African roots with a blend of Afro-Swing blended with Rap".<br>
<br>It's also a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing space, with Fulham making their finest start to a top-flight season since 2003-04.<br>
<br>'I do not get it on in the dressing room but when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he just can't help himself, Iwobi reveals.<br>
<br>'He is tapping the supervisor to listen to the song. The very first time he (Silva) heard 'What's Luv?' he was just vibing like, 'is this Alex?' and Calvin was like 'yes it's Alex!' He said it wasn't bad. I know the very first time he didn't comprehend what was stated however he enjoyed the beat. So it's a win-win.<br>
<br>'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having great feedback from the group - even the individuals who don't speak English as their mother tongue like the Brazilians, they're vibing also,' includes Iwobi.<br>
<br>Silva's strategy at Everton was to construct around the midfielder however he was sacked 4 months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez hardly played him at all.<br>
<br>Iwobi would travel across the M62 to Manchester and play seven-a-side with his mates in disguise to enjoy his football again. Now that pleasure has actually been uncovered after his ₤ 22M relocation last year.<br>
<br>'Everyone's state of mind is one for all and all for one so that's certainly helping us this season. We have actually been having group meals and bonding which's brought a lot of togetherness, states Iwobi.<br>
<br>Marco Silva first signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later in 2023<br>
<br>Iwobi will have his work cut out as Fulham take on league leaders Liverpool at Anfield<br>
<br>'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to consume. We arranged a trip to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), returned then went once again with the Tottenham and Brighton results. We feel like we're ready to fly and we can do anything together.'<br>
<br>Another team meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of 3 video games in seven days over Christmas. 'The gaffer desires to take us out. That's another little free food so I'm not grumbling,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's actually great. It resembles one huge household.'<br>
<br>But first, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having taken points from Arsenal last week and directly losing at Man City in October in a video game where Pep Guardiola was complete of credit for Fulham.<br>
<br>'It reveals we have the capability to take on anybody. We are not frightened. Hopefully it will be the exact same against Liverpool. We are going there to get an outcome,' Iwobi firmly insists.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders may well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing room.<br>
