Former England international and football pundit Gary Lineker has heaped praise on Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi for his outstanding performances for Fulham this season.

Iwobi has emerged as a key player for Marco Silva’s side, consistently delivering impactful performances.

The 28-year-old has already notched up five goals and three assists in 19 Premier League appearances, showcasing his influence in Fulham’s midfield.

Lineker, speaking on his podcast The Rest is Football, highlighted Iwobi’s contributions and longevity in the Premier League.

“Iwobi has had a terrific season. He’s been around the Premier League for a while,” Lineker said.

Fulham currently sits in eighth position on the Premier League table and is pushing for a place in the top six.

A win in their ongoing match against Ipswich Town could bring them within two points of the top six, marking their best-ever Premier League points tally after 20 games.

Iwobi’s resurgence at Fulham is a testament to his consistency and ability to shine in one of the toughest leagues in the world.
