The 27-year-old forward has signed a five-year contract till June 2028.
It is widely reported the transfer was worth 22 Million Pounds.
Iwobi had a year left on his Everton deal and he could have walked away a free player if he did not extend it next year.
“I’m buzzing, I just can’t wait to get started, I’m excited to start my journey here,” he told Fulham official website.
“Marco Silva (Fulham manager) spoke to me about the ambitions of the club, and I’m on board.
“Hopefully I can bring something to the club.”
Fulham sports director Tony Khan said Iwobi is a versatile player who the London club have followed for some time and believe his experience in the Premier League will help them.
“He’s an exciting and versatile player whom we’ve admired for some time,” he remarked.
“He has experience in the Premier League and in international competition with Nigeria.
“We’re excited that Alex has joined us on a long-term contract, and we believe that he’ll make a valuable contribution to Marco’s squad!”
