- Nigeria international likes to have fun
- Lifted the lid on life in the dressing room
- Forced to stop on advice of the Cottagers
Ex-Arsenal and Everton midfielder Iwobi has been giving fans exclusive access to life in the dressing room since his days at Goodison Park. He has been on the books at Craven Cottage since 2023.
The 29-year-old tries to play with a smile and does his best to keep morale high in training. During pre-season camps, Iwobi has often treated supporters to Snapchat videos that see him mingling with club colleagues.
He has captured himself singing with former team-mate Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while sharing clips of Adama Traore and Calvin Bassey wrestling at Fulham, but Iwobi is having to put the camera down for now.
Iwobi said in a Snapchat post: “For those that are wondering why I haven’t been snapping BTS in the changing room, one person in the media team has been saying I haven’t been catching the right stuff.
“So, there’s no more BTS. They also said I might get fined if I continue to do so, they’re trying to ban snap in our changing room. That’s why I ain’t been snapping BTS, it’s a shame, I know you guys enjoy seeing what my team-mates are like behind the scenes. But, I have to respect the rules.”
Iwobi is said to be earning around £80,000-a-week at Fulham. He is eager to avoid being stung in the pocket, with full focus now being locked on a series of friendlies and the countdown to a 2025-26 Premier League opener away at Brighton on August 16.
