Fulham coach Marco Silva has said that he is not surprised by midfielder Alex Iwobi’s fine form and quality in Fulham’s colors.

The Nigeria international is in a blitzkrieg of form following his arrival at Cottage Road, with his most recent five-star showing coming against visiting Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Fulham forward Raul Jimenez and Iwobi scored a brace of goals each, in the Cottagers complete 5-0 blaze out of Forest at Cottage road, with midfielder Tom Cairney taking credit for the team’s last goal against the Tricky Trees.

Afterwards Silva posted on his team’s ‘X’ account page his immense belief in both Iwobi and Jimenez’ qualities.

On @alexiwobi: “He is a hard worker. I knew when we signed him, his energy and dynamic will help us.”: “He is a hard worker. I knew when we signed him, his energy and dynamic will help us.”

Silva said that he signed the midfielder in a surprise move from Everton on Premier League’s transfer deadline day because he was confident that the Nigerian’s work ethics will make the difference at Fulham.
