Former Chelsea star Karen Carney has revealed the personality behind Alex Iwobi’s newfound form for Fulham.

Iwobi has been in excellent form for Fulham in the last few weeks and has been an important part of Marco Silva’s side.

The midfielder was in action against Brighton on Thursday and scored two goals to help Fulham claim a 2-1 win.

Following his two goals, the Super Eagles star has now scored five goals and provided three assists this season in the Premier League.

Speaking after the game, via Premier League Productions, Karen said, "He has always been a worker, a grafter in the team, but it's that quality. I think tonight, playing in that more central role, he had that responsibility.

"He's matured now; he's 28; he's an experienced player under a manager that gets the best out of people. Marco is certainly getting the best out of Alex Iwobi there."

Carney highlighted the effect of Iwobi's shift to a more central midfield position, saying it had improved his performance considerably.

At the age of 28, Iwobi is developing into a seasoned player under Silva's tutelage, which Carney thinks is bringing out the best in the Nigerian midfielder.
