Alex Iwobi: Key to Fulham’s Dream Photo-Finish
Although Alex Iwobi lost out on the Player of the Month award for March, he can still take away the positives, as making the nomination list is no easy feat.
In the meantime, Fulham coach Marco Silva will be banking on the Super Eagles star to deliver the goods heading into the last seven games of the campaign.
The Cottagers currently sit 9th with 44 points and have a strong chance of qualifying for Europe, as they are just two points behind seventh-placed Brentford.
Qualifying for any UEFA competition would be a massive achievement for the club. Iwobi has been a top performer this year, and he will be looking to continue his fine form as Fulham push for a strong finish in the Premier League.
