EPL: Fulham Manager Silva Hails ‘Happy Boy’ Iwobi Ahead of Brighton Clash
Fulham manager Marco Silva has heaped praise on Alex Iwobi, describing the Nigerian midfielder as a “happy boy” ahead of the team’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at Craven Cottage on Thursday.
Iwobi has been a standout performer for Fulham this season, contributing three goals and three assists in 13 league appearances. His impressive display in the recent 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur further highlighted his growing influence in the squad.
Speaking to reporters, Silva commended Iwobi’s positive attitude and composure on the pitch.
“I call him a happy boy,” Silva said. “When you are in a happy place, when you are so positive and people around you are positive, I think good things will come to you. You never see him panic at any moment of the game. He is going to be a top confidence player.”
Iwobi’s resurgence under Silva has been pivotal for Fulham as they navigate a challenging Premier League campaign. Fans will be eager to see if the in-form midfielder can inspire the team to victory against Brighton.
