Silva: Iwobi has been Fulham’s star performer this season

Marco Silva has picked out Alex Iwobi as Fulham’s star performer this season.

Iwobi provided the assist for Harry Wilson’s 83rd minute goal in Fulham’s 2-0 win at Selhurst Park against their host, Crystal Palace.

It was the Nigerian’s second assist of the season and 31st in 264 appearances in the Premier League.

‘For me, last season was the best season from him in the Premier League. I am sure he is going to be better this season.

‘I brought him to Everton and then had the chance to have him here in London at Fulham. It was a moment for us to go.

‘From the first week of pre-season I felt he was going to have this season. He has taken more responsibility on his back and is helping the team,’ said Silva.

Iwobi started his 11th game in 11 Premier League matches played so far this season and 204th in 264 games in the competition.
