Alex Iwobi is discussing the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairstyle has actually assisted his football in what he sees as his best start to a Premier League season up until now.
+
'Yeah, that really plays a part (in expressing myself),' the Fulham midfielder states.
+
'My father's in your home and he's most likely heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got bored and didn't wish to cut it off so I believed let's do something various that nobody else has. I actually told the hairdresser to 'express yourself' but not too wild. It's wild due to the fact that it's red and purple at the minute but I like it. My father's accepted it now so I'm simple.'
+
It's a stark contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal launching under Arsene Wenger in 2015.
+
Iwobi insists that he's constantly had the state of mind of sensation like there's more to life than football but has actually only revealed himself more over the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, releasing songs and launching his charitable structure, Project 17.
+
'It's always been my hobby to do music, charity work and things in style. But it's just recently that I've been revealing myself a lot more, to reveal individuals that I am not just a footballer. There is more to life, he states.
+
Alexi Iwobi has actually made his best start to a Premier League season with 5 objectives in 15 matches
+
The 28-year-old says his multi-coloured braids have contributed to his on-pitch enhancement

For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his home town, where whatever will be free in a local supermarket.
+
'You know what Liverpool are like - it's going to be an extreme video game however whether I get cramp or have no hamstrings, I will exist on Sunday,' Iwobi tensions.
+
'In the house I was raised in, my daddy naturally simply provided back. To individuals in Nigeria, to his household and even individuals in the street - he would simply purchase bottles of water and provide to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and papa are has inspired me to offer to others, whether they are lucky or less fortunate. With the position I remain in, I feel like it's just right with the influence I have that I return as well.'
+
Through these efforts off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the trick to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has already scored more goals than in any other season, with 5 in the league for a Fulham side that is just 2 points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.
+
'As a child you desire to do your finest to impress the manager and desire everyone to understand you are totally focused on football. But it (liberty) includes age, being free and not being pressed about negative remarks. If it's constructive, you don't mind the criticism,' he says.
+
'You have to be strong mentally. Players succeed when they're positive and with me, feeling positive to reveal myself on and off the pitch, I nearly [feel unstoppable](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/business/nairametrics-news/). And when you have people that back you, it truly plays a part.'
+
One of those people that backs him is Marco Silva, who signed Iwobi for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't be reluctant when he had the opportunity to bring him back to London on Deadline Day last year. After his brace versus Brighton recently, Silva said it was Iwobi's 'best season in the Premier League so far' and he concurs.

Iwobi firmly insists that he's always had the mindset of sensation like there's more to life than football
+
Earlier this year, Iwobi became the first Premier League footballer to launch a single with his [launching song](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/nigerian-newspapers/daily-trust-newspaper/) 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a [follow-up 'What's](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/forums/gistmania-news/) Luv?'
+
'I have actually been associated with a great deal of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have actually been working well. You could state it's my best start to the season - I just need to keep it going and make certain it's my finest season. That's the objective' states Iwobi, who credits Silva for giving him 'the license to himself. 'It's nice to have a manager who provides you the self-confidence to do that,' he states.
+
Earlier this year, Iwobi became the first Premier League footballer to release a single with his launching song 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is described as an event of his African roots with a mix of Afro-Swing mixed with Rap".
+
It's also a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing room, with Fulham making their best start to a top-flight season because 2003-04.
+
'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.
+
'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 understand the first time he didn't understand what was said however he took pleasure in the beat. So it's a win-win.
+
'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having excellent feedback from the group - even the individuals who do not speak English as their first language like the Brazilians, they're vibing also,' adds Iwobi.
+
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.
+
Iwobi would take a trip throughout the M62 to Manchester and play seven-a-side with his mates in disguise to enjoy his football again. Now that happiness has been uncovered after his ₤ 22M move in 2015.
+
'Everyone's mindset is one for all and all for one so that's definitely helping us this season. We've been having team meals and bonding and that's brought a lot of togetherness, states Iwobi.
+
Marco Silva initially signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later on in 2023

Iwobi will have his work eliminated as Fulham handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield
+
'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to consume. We arranged a journey to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), returned then went again with the Tottenham and Brighton results. We seem like we're all set to fly and we can do anything together.'
+
Another group meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of three games in 7 days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wants to take us out. That's another bit of free food so I'm not complaining,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's truly good. It's like one huge household.'
+
But first, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having actually taken points from Arsenal last week and directly losing at Man City in October in a game where Pep Guardiola was complete of credit for Fulham.
+
'It shows we have the capability to compete with anyone. We are not scared. Hopefully it will be the very same against Liverpool. We are going there to get a result,' Iwobi insists.
+
Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders might well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing space.
