+[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)<br>Alex Iwobi is discussing the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairdo has helped his football in what he views as his finest start to a Premier League season up until now.<br>
+<br>'Yeah, that actually plays a part (in expressing myself),' the Fulham midfielder says.<br>
+<br>'My dad's in your home and he's probably heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't wish to suffice off so I thought let's do something different that no one else has. I literally informed the hairdresser to 'reveal yourself' but not too wild. It's wild because it's red and purple at the minute but I like it. My father's accepted it now so I'm simple.'<br>
+<br>It's a stark contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal debut under Arsene Wenger in 2015.<br>
+<br>Iwobi firmly insists that he's always had the frame of mind of feeling like there's more to life than football but has only revealed himself more in the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, launching songs and introducing his charitable structure, Project 17.<br>
+<br>'It's constantly been my pastime to do music, charity work and things in fashion. But it's just just recently that I've been expressing myself a lot more, to show individuals that I am not just a footballer. There is more to life, he says.<br>
+<br>Alexi Iwobi has made his best start to a [Premier League](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/forums/nairaland-forum/) season with 5 goals in 15 matches<br>
+<br>The 28-year-old says his multi-coloured braids have added to his on-pitch improvement<br>
+<br>It's a plain contrast from the short-haired teenager 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  100 families for Christmas as part of Project 17.<br>
+<br>For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his home town, where everything will be totally free in a local grocery store.<br>
+<br>'You understand what Liverpool are like - it's going to be an intense game however whether I get constrain or have no hamstrings, I will exist on Sunday,' Iwobi stresses.<br>
+<br>'In your house I was raised in, my dad naturally just returned. To people in Nigeria, to his family and even people in the street - he would simply buy bottles of water and offer them to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and father are has actually motivated me to provide to others, whether they are fortunate or less lucky. With the [position](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/tv-stations/nta-news/) I remain in, I seem like it's only right with the impact I have that I return also.'<br>
+<br>Through these initiatives off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the trick to his success on the pitch too. The [Nigerian](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/nigerian-newspapers/thisday-newspaper/) has currently scored more goals than in any other season, with 5 in the league for a Fulham side that is just two points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.<br>
+<br>'As a child you want to do your finest to impress the supervisor and desire everyone to know you are completely focused on football. But it (liberty) comes with age, being free and not being pushed about negative remarks. If it's constructive, you don't mind the criticism,' he says.<br>
+<br>'You need to be strong mentally. Players do well when they're confident and with me, feeling great to reveal myself on and off the pitch, I nearly feel unstoppable. And when you have people 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 think twice when he had the chance to bring him back to London on Deadline Day last year. After his brace against Brighton recently, Silva stated it was Iwobi's 'best season in the Premier League so far' and he agrees.<br>
+<br>The 28-year-old will feed 100 families on Sunday for Christmas as part of Project 17<br>
+<br>Iwobi insists that he's always had the mindset of feeling like there's more to life than football<br>
+<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the very first Premier League footballer to launch a single with his launching tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a follow-up 'What's Luv?'<br>
+<br>'I have been included in a lot of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have actually been working well. You could say it's my best start to the season - I simply need to keep it going and make sure it's my finest season. That's the aim' states Iwobi, who credits Silva for providing him 'the license to express' himself. 'It's nice to have a manager who gives you the confidence to do that,' he states.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
+<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the very first Premier League footballer to launch a single with his debut tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is explained as a celebration of his African roots with a blend of Afro-Swing blended with Rap".<br>
+<br>It's likewise a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing space, with Fulham making their finest start to a top-flight season considering that 2003-04.<br>
+<br>'I don't get it on in the dressing space however when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he simply can't assist himself, Iwobi reveals.<br>
+<br>'He is tapping the supervisor to listen to the song. The first time he (Silva) heard 'What's Luv?' he was simply vibing like, 'is this Alex?' and Calvin was like 'yes it's Alex!' He stated it wasn't bad. I understand the very first time he didn't understand what was said but he took pleasure in the beat. So it's a win-win.<br>
+<br>'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having great feedback from the team - even the people who do not speak English as their very first language like the Brazilians, they're vibing too,' includes Iwobi.<br>
+<br>Silva's plan at Everton was to build around the midfielder but he was sacked four months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez barely 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 once again. Now that happiness has actually been rediscovered after his ₤ 22M move last year.<br>
+<br>'Everyone's frame of mind is one for all and all for one so that's absolutely assisting us this season. We've been having group meals and bonding and that's brought a lot of togetherness, states Iwobi.<br>
+<br>Marco Silva initially signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later on 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 eat. We organised a journey to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), came back then went 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 three games in 7 days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wishes to take us out. That's another bit of free food so I'm not complaining,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's truly good. It resembles one big household.'<br>
+<br>But initially, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having actually taken points from Arsenal last week and narrowly losing at Man City in October in a video game where Pep Guardiola had lots of credit for Fulham.<br>
+<br>'It reveals we have the capability to compete with anyone. We are not scared. Hopefully it will be the very same versus Liverpool. We are going there to get a result,' Iwobi firmly insists.<br>
+<br>Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders might well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing space.<br>
