Former Super Eagles captain Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha has given his nephew Alex Iwobi his stamp of approval.
Iwobi, 28, is enjoying his most prolific season the Premier League as he has now scored seven goals and his club Fulham are 10th in the standings.
Fulham boss Marco Silva has already predicted Iwobi will post his best-ever Premier League campaign since his debut almost 10 years ago.
Okocha, young brother of Iwobi’s mother, has also been impressed with the Super Eagles forward, who a year ago was bullied on social media for playing below par at the 2023 AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire.
“I am very happy with him and his progress,” he told Lagos Talks FM about his nephew, adding that he is now being played in a more comfortable position as a deep playing central midfielder.
