<br>Alex Iwobi is talking about the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairstyle has helped his football in what he views as his finest start to a Premier League season so far.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>'Yeah, that actually plays a part (in expressing myself),' the Fulham midfielder says.<br>
<br>'My father's in the house and he's most likely heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't desire to cut it off so I believed let's do something different that no one else has. I literally informed 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 however I like it. My dad's accepted it now so I'm easy.'<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 mindset of sensation like there's more to life than football but has just revealed himself more over the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, releasing songs and introducing his charitable foundation, Project 17.<br>
<br>'It's constantly been my pastime to do music, charity work and things in fashion. But it's only just recently that I have actually been expressing myself a lot more, to show individuals that I am not simply a footballer. There is more to life, he states.<br>
<br>Alexi Iwobi has actually made his best start to a Premier League season with 5 goals in 15 matches<br>
<br>The 28-year-old states his multi-coloured braids have actually added to his on-pitch enhancement<br>
<br>It's a plain contrast from the short-haired teen who made his debut under Arsene Wenger<br>
<br>This weekend, the 28-year-old will have his work cut out as Fulham handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and on Sunday, he will be back in London feeding 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 complimentary in a regional supermarket.<br>
<br>'You [understand](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/investigative-news/peoples-gazette-news/) what Liverpool are like - it's going to be an extreme video game however whether I get constrain or have no hamstrings, I will be there on Sunday,' Iwobi [stresses](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/nigerian-newspapers/p-m-news/).<br>
<br>'In the house I was raised in, my dad naturally simply returned. To individuals in Nigeria, to his family and even people in the street - he would simply buy bottles of water and provide to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and father are has motivated me to provide to others, whether they are fortunate or less fortunate. With the position I am in, I seem like it's only best with the influence I have that I return as well.'<br>
<br>Through these initiatives off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the secret to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has currently scored more objectives than in any other season, with five in the league for a Fulham side that is just 2 points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.<br>
<br>'As a youngster you wish to do your best to impress the supervisor and want everybody to know you are fully focused on football. But it (freedom) features age, being totally free and not being pressed about negative remarks. If it's constructive, you do not mind the criticism,' he says.<br>
<br>'You have to be strong mentally. Players do well when they're positive and with me, feeling great to express myself on and off the pitch, I nearly feel unstoppable. And when you have individuals that back you, it actually plays a part.'<br>
<br>One of those individuals 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](https://www.yohaig.ng/category/naija-news/investigative-news/premium-times/) Day last year. After his brace against Brighton recently, Silva said it was Iwobi's 'best season in the Premier League up until now' and he concurs.<br>
<br>The 28-year-old will feed 100 families on Sunday for Christmas as part of 17<br>
<br>Iwobi firmly insists that he's always had the mindset of sensation like there's more to life than football<br>
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi became the very first Premier League footballer to release a single with his launching tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?'<br>
<br>'I have actually been included in a great deal of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have actually been working well. You might say 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 aim' says Iwobi, who credits Silva for offering him 'the license to reveal' himself. 'It's good to have a supervisor who provides you the self-confidence to do that,' he says.<br>
<br>Earlier this year, Iwobi ended up being the very first Premier League footballer to release a single with his debut 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 combined with Rap".<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>'I do not get it on in the dressing space but when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he simply can't help himself, Iwobi exposes.<br>
<br>'He is tapping the supervisor to listen to the tune. The very first time he (Silva) heard 'What's Luv?' he was simply vibing like, 'is this Alex?' and Calvin resembled 'yes it's Alex!' He said it wasn't bad. I know the very first time he didn't understand what was stated however he took pleasure in the beat. So it's a win-win.<br>
<br>'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having good feedback from the team - even individuals who do not speak English as their very first language like the Brazilians, they're vibing too,' adds Iwobi.<br>
<br>Silva's strategy at Everton was to develop around the midfielder however he was sacked 4 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 been rediscovered after his ₤ 22M move last year.<br>
<br>'Everyone's mindset is one for all and all for one so that's definitely assisting us this season. We've been having team meals and bonding which's brought a great deal of togetherness, says Iwobi.<br>
<br>Marco Silva initially signed the Nigerian at Everton then brought him to Fulham later in 2023<br>
<br>Iwobi will have his work eliminated as Fulham take on league leaders Liverpool at Anfield<br>
<br>'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to consume. We arranged a trip 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 all set to fly and we can do anything together.'<br>
<br>Another group meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of three video games in seven days over Christmas. 'The gaffer desires to take us out. That's another little bit of complimentary food so I'm not grumbling,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's truly nice. It's like one big family.'<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 game where Pep Guardiola was complete of credit for Fulham.<br>
<br>'It shows we have the ability to take on anyone. We are not scared. Hopefully it will be the very same against Liverpool. We are going there to get a result,' Iwobi insists.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders might well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing room.<br>
