Alex Iwobi is talking about the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairstyle has actually helped his football in what he sees as his finest start to a Premier League season so far.

'Yeah, that actually plays a part (in revealing myself),' the Fulham midfielder says.

'My daddy's in your house and he's probably heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't wish to suffice off so I believed let's do something different that nobody else has. I literally informed the hairdresser to 'reveal yourself' however not too wild. It's wild due to the fact that it's red and purple at the minute however I like it. My daddy's accepted it now so I'm simple.'

It's a plain contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal launching under Arsene Wenger in 2015.

Iwobi firmly insists that he's constantly had the state of mind of feeling like there's more to life than football however has only expressed himself more in the last few years, going to Paris Fashion Week, releasing singles and introducing his charitable foundation, Project 17.

'It's always been my hobby to do music, charity work and things in style. But it's only just recently that I've been revealing myself a lot more, to reveal people that I am not just a footballer. There is more to life, he states.

The 28-year-old says his multi-coloured braids have added to his on-pitch enhancement

This weekend, the 28-year-old will have his work eliminated as Fulham take on league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and on Sunday, he will be back in London feeding 100 families for Christmas as part of Project 17.

For one day, there will be an AleXpress in Canning Town, his hometown, where whatever will be totally free in a local grocery store.

'You know what Liverpool resemble - it's going to be an intense game however whether I get cramp or have no hamstrings, I will exist on Sunday,' Iwobi .

'In your house I was raised in, my daddy naturally just gave back. To people in Nigeria, to his family and even individuals in the street - he would just buy bottles of water and provide to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and dad are has actually influenced me to offer to others, whether they are lucky or less lucky. With the position I am in, I seem like it's only best with the impact I have that I return also.'

Through these initiatives off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the secret to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has already scored more goals than in any other season, with five in the league for a Fulham side that is simply two points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.

'As a child you want to do your best to impress the supervisor and desire everyone to understand you are completely focused on football. But it (liberty) features age, being complimentary and not being pressed about negative remarks. If it's positive, you don't mind the criticism,' he says.

'You need to be strong psychologically. Players do well when they're confident and with me, feeling positive to express myself on and off the pitch, I practically feel unstoppable. And when you have individuals that back you, it really plays a part.'

Among those people that backs him is Marco Silva, who signed Iwobi for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't think twice when he had the chance to bring him back to London on Deadline Day last year. After his brace versus Brighton last week, Silva said it was Iwobi's 'best season in the Premier League up until now' and he agrees.

Iwobi firmly insists that he's constantly had the frame of mind of sensation like there's more to life than football

Earlier this year, Iwobi ended up being the first Premier League footballer to release a single with his debut song 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a follow-up 'What's Luv?'

'I have actually been involved in a great deal of goals, contributing a lot, and defensively I have actually been working well. You could state it's my best start to the season - I simply need to keep it going and make certain it's my finest season. That's the goal' states Iwobi, who credits Silva for offering him 'the license to express' himself. 'It's nice to have a supervisor who provides you the confidence to do that,' he states.

Earlier this year, Iwobi became the very first Premier League footballer to release a single with his debut song 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is explained as a celebration of his African roots with a blend of Afro-Swing blended with Rap".

It's likewise a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing space, with Fulham making their finest start to a top-flight season since 2003-04.

'I don't get it on in the dressing room however when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he simply can't assist himself, Iwobi exposes.

'He is tapping the manager to listen to the song. The very first time he (Silva) heard 'What's Luv?' he was simply vibing like, 'is this Alex?' and Calvin was like 'yes it's Alex!' He stated it wasn't bad. I understand the very first time he didn't understand what was stated however he delighted in the beat. So it's a win-win.

'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having excellent feedback from the team - even individuals who don't speak English as their first language like the Brazilians, they're vibing as well,' includes Iwobi.

Silva's strategy at Everton was to develop around the midfielder but he was sacked four months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez barely played him at all.

Iwobi would take a trip throughout the M62 to Manchester and play seven-a-side with his mates in disguise to enjoy his football again. Now that happiness has been rediscovered after his ₤ 22M move in 2015.

'Everyone's frame of mind is one for all and all for one so that's absolutely helping us this season. We've been having team meals and bonding which's brought a lot of togetherness, says Iwobi.

'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to eat. We organised a trip to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), returned then went again with the Tottenham and Brighton results. We feel like we're prepared to fly and we can do anything together.'

Another team meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of three games in 7 days over Christmas. 'The gaffer wishes to take us out. That's another little free food so I'm not grumbling,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's actually good. It resembles one huge household.'

But initially, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having taken points from Arsenal recently and narrowly losing at Man City in October in a game where Pep Guardiola was full of credit for Fulham.

'It shows we have the capability to take on anybody. We are not frightened. Hopefully it will be the same versus Liverpool. We are going there to get an outcome,' Iwobi firmly insists.
