Alex Iwobi Is Quietly Becoming One Of The Premier League’s Most Creative Midfielders

Alex Iwobi Is Cooking — And The Premier League Is Finally Paying Attention

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi is quietly having one of the most complete and intelligent seasons of his career — and Fulham fans know it.

While some players shine with flashy dribbles or blistering pace, Iwobi’s brilliance is far more subtle. He is Fulham’s brains, their balance, their creative lifeline… and arguably their most important player this season.

A Fulham Mainstay With Endless Versatility

Iwobi has done everything Marco Silva has asked of him — play wide, play central, play advanced, play deeper… the man just delivers.

Recently, he has formed a surprisingly effective midfield partnership with Sander Berge, operating in a two-man engine room that keeps Fulham ticking in possession.

He’s consistent.
He’s reliable.
He’s creative.
And he keeps improving.

Fifth Most Creative Player In The Premier League — Let That Sink In

According to WhoScored, Iwobi has created 23 goal-scoring chances this season, placing him among the top five most creative players in the entire Premier League.

Only these players rank above him:

• Bruno Fernandes – 40

• Dominik Szoboszlai – 28

• Declan Rice – 27

• Elliot Anderson – 25

• Alex Iwobi – 23

He is the only Fulham player in that elite list — a testimony to how central he is to everything good happening in their attack.

From Everton Cast-Off To Fulham Genius

Since leaving Everton, Iwobi has leveled up massively:

• Last season: 9 goals + 6 assists in 38 league games (career best)

• This season: 2 goals + 2 assists in 15 games

• Creativity metrics: Among the league’s elite

At 29, he has matured into a composed, visionary midfielder who sees the pass before anyone else does. He’s not the fastest or the flashiest, but his intelligence is unmatched.

Marco Silva trusts him.
Fulham rely on him.
And now, the numbers are proving why.

The Super Eagles Need This Version Of Iwobi

As Nigeria heads into AFCON, the big question is simple:

Why is Eric Chelle not unleashing Iwobi in a creative role?

With Nigeria crying out for a true playmaker, it makes little sense to push Iwobi into a deeper, defensive role that does not maximize his strengths.

He is:

• Nigeria’s most intelligent passer

• Their most natural creator

• Their most experienced midfield link

• And currently one of the Premier League’s top chance creators

If Chelle is looking for a spark — the one player who can unlock tight defenses — Iwobi is the answer.

Final Verdict: Iwobi Is Ready To Lead

This season is shaping up to be another defining chapter in Alex Iwobi’s career.
He’s no longer the “promising youngster” or “inconsistent winger.”
He is now a seasoned, high-IQ midfield creator — and Fulham’s most influential player.

Nigeria, take note.
AFCON is coming.
Iwobi’s creativity must not go to waste.
