Head coach of English Premier League side Fulham Marco Silva has explained the reason behind the fine form of Nigeria international Alex Iwobi at the club , OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Yesterday the Nigerian scored twice to help them to a 3-1 win over Brighton which moved them to 6th on the table. Iwobi now has five goals and three assists in 14 games this season.
Silva who signed the Nigerian from Arsenal during his time as coach at Everton was key in ensuring that the Nigerian joined him at Fulham just before the start of last season. A decision that has paid off handsomely.
Speaking ahead of the game where he fired a brace, Silva said the happy nature of the 28 year old is largely responsible for his performance on the pitch.
“I call him a happy boy. When you are in a happy place, when you are so positive and people around you are positive, I think good things will come to you. You never see him panic in any moment of the game. He is going to be a top confidence player.”
He rounded up by sending a warning to Arsenal ahead of their game this weekend saying his team still has more surprises to pull in the English Premier League this season.
