Fulham’s Iwobi reveals formula for Chukwueze’s return to top form

Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi believes Samuel Chukwueze can return to his best by maintaining consistency after the winger’s impressive showing against Tottenham Hotspur.

Chukwueze, on loan from AC Milan, helped set the tone in the away win last month, supplying the pass that led to Kenny Tete’s early opener. He later struck the woodwork and was denied by a last-ditch tackle from Micky van de Ven after rounding goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

Marco Silva praised the Nigerian for his “all-round creativity”, as the Cottagers claimed back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time this season.

Iwobi said the squad’s unity is playing a key role in their improved form.

“We have a nice brotherhood in the team. Everyone motivates each other and everyone fights for each other,” he said.

“We wanted to get our first away win and that was the motivation today.”

Alex Iwobi says teammate Samuel Chukwueze can return to peak form by maintaining consistency after a standout display against Spurs.

“You can see the magic he does on the field. ‘Chukwu-magic’ that’s his nickname in training. He can do it in training and in matches; he just needs to stay consistent.”
