Iwobi also praised his new teammates, particularly Smith Rowe and Traore. “If I can’t score, at least I’m able to create chances for my teammates. Smith Rowe and Adama Traore are going to put those chances away. There are so many goal threats in this team.”

He’s a nice kid, easy-going, always eager to learn, and hasn’t got an ego. He makes it easy for us – it isn’t just his footballing ability, his personality makes him a great addition to the team.”

His ability to beat defenders and deliver quality crosses into the box will be a key factor in Fulham’s attacking play.
