Alex Iwobi is discussing the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairdo has assisted his football in what he sees as his best start to a Premier League season so far.
+
'Yeah, that in fact plays a part (in revealing myself),' the Fulham midfielder says.
+
'My dad's in the house and he's probably heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got bored and didn't wish to suffice off so I thought let's do something different that nobody else has. I actually told the hairdresser to 'express yourself' but not too wild. It's wild since it's red and purple at the moment but I like it. My father's accepted it now so I'm easy.'
+
It's a plain contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal debut under Arsene Wenger in 2015.
+
Iwobi insists that he's constantly had the state of mind of feeling like there's more to life than football but has just revealed himself more recently, going to Paris Fashion Week, launching singles and introducing his charitable foundation, Project 17.
+
'It's always been my pastime to do music, charity work and things in fashion. But it's just recently that I've been revealing myself a lot more, to reveal individuals that I am not simply a footballer. There is more to life, he says.

+
The 28 states his multi-coloured braids have added to his on-pitch improvement
+
It's a stark contrast from the short-haired [teenager](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/business/nairametrics-news/) who made his launching under Arsene Wenger

'You understand what Liverpool are like - it's going to be an intense game but whether I get cramp or have no hamstrings, I will be there on Sunday,' Iwobi stresses.
+
'In the home I was raised in, my daddy naturally simply provided back. To people in Nigeria, to his household and even [individuals](https://www.yohaig.ng/) in the street - he would simply purchase bottles of water and provide to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and daddy are has influenced me to provide to others, whether they are lucky or less fortunate. With the position I remain in, I feel like it's just best with the influence I have that I return also.'
+
Through these efforts off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the secret to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has already scored more objectives than in any other season, with five in the league for a Fulham side that is just two points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.
+
'As a child you wish to do your finest to impress the supervisor and want everyone to know you are fully concentrated on [football](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/nigerian-newspapers/punch-newspaper/). But it (flexibility) includes age, being complimentary and not being pressed about unfavorable remarks. If it's useful, you don't mind the criticism,' he says.
+
'You have to be strong psychologically. Players succeed when they're confident and with me, feeling confident to express myself on and off the pitch, I practically feel unstoppable. And when you have people that back you, it really plays a part.'
+
Among 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 in 2015. 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 state of mind of sensation like there's more to life than football
+
Earlier this year, Iwobi ended up being the first Premier League footballer to launch a single with his debut tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a follow-up 'What's Luv?'
+
'I have actually been associated with a great deal of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You might say it's my finest start to the season - I simply need to keep it going and ensure it's my finest season. That's the aim' states Iwobi, who credits Silva for giving him 'the license to reveal' himself. 'It's good to have a manager who offers you the confidence to do that,' he states.

Earlier this year, Iwobi ended up being 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 referred to as a celebration of his African roots with a blend of Afro-Swing mixed with Rap".
+
It's likewise a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing room, with Fulham making their finest start to a top-flight season considering that 2003-04.
+
'I don't get it on in the dressing room however when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he simply can't assist himself, Iwobi exposes.
[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) +
'He is tapping the supervisor to listen to the tune. 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 stated it wasn't bad. I understand the first time he didn't comprehend what was stated however he delighted in the beat. So it's a win-win.
+
'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having good feedback from the group - even the people who do not speak English as their mother tongue like the Brazilians, they're vibing also,' adds Iwobi.
+
Silva's plan at Everton was to build around the midfielder but he was sacked 4 months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez hardly played him at all.
+
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 delight has been found after his ₤ 22M relocation last year.
+
'Everyone's state of mind is one for all and all for one so that's definitely assisting us this season. We have actually been having team meals and bonding which's brought a lot of togetherness, states Iwobi.
+
Marco Silva initially signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later in 2023
+
Iwobi will have his work cut out as Fulham handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield
+
'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to consume. 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.'
+
Another group meal is arranged for midweek ahead of a run of 3 games in 7 days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wants to take us out. That's another little bit of totally free food so I'm not complaining,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's really good. It resembles one big family.'
+
But initially, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having taken points from Arsenal recently and directly losing at Man City in October in a video game where Pep Guardiola had plenty of credit for Fulham.
+
'It reveals we have the capability to take on anybody. We are not terrified. Hopefully it will be the very same versus Liverpool. We are going there to get an outcome,' Iwobi firmly insists.
+
Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders might well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing room.
