Iwobi Earns Premier League Player of the Month Nomination
Alex Iwobi has been nominated for the March 2026 Premier League Player of the Month award, earning recognition for his influential role in Fulham’s push toward European qualification.
Often described as one of the league’s most underrated players, the Nigerian midfielder has thrived in a deeper role, bringing creativity and control to Marco Silva’s side.
Iwobi’s standout moment came in Fulham’s victory over Tottenham at the start of the month, when he scored a brilliantly improvised goal from outside the box, using his instep to curl the ball across goal with precision.
His performances have underlined his importance to Fulham’s resurgence, with the club now firmly in contention for a place in Europe next season.
The nomination places Iwobi alongside some of the Premier League’s biggest names, including Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Gordon, Morgan Gibbs-White, James Garner, David Raya, and Danny Welbeck.
While Fernandes and Gordon impressed with goals and assists, and Raya continued his dominance in goal for Arsenal, Iwobi’s recognition highlights his growing influence and consistency in midfield.
For a player who has often been overlooked, this nomination signals a wider appreciation of his ingenuity and impact, and it could mark a turning point in how he is perceived among the league’s elite.
