The Super Eagles forward revealed how he chose fashion over the ongoing Euro 2024 in Germany.

Nigeria international Alex Iwobi has been making the most of his well-deserved holiday, but it seems he's not too keen on keeping up with the ongoing European Championship.

I've seen a few highlights, but I haven't been actively keeping up," the 27-year-old footballer admits in an interview with GQ.

I'm just literally trying to take a break and enjoy [being] away from it all."

While Iwobi may be taking a break from the beautiful game, he's found a new passion to explore – the world of fashion.

"It's two different worlds, and I'm still learning," he confesses to GQ magazine.

"But to be fair, the people on the team around me have made it smooth, so it's not been too hectic on my side."

Iwobi recently dazzled fans with his latest fashion statements at the prestigious Paris Fashion Week, and the Fulham star is clearly having a blast.

I enlisted the help of my friends to determine which ensemble was the most 'Parisian' before settling on the Solid Homme creation," he reveals further.

In a related development, Iwobi and his Super Eagles teammate Calvin Bassey were among the Fulham stars who helped launch the club's stylish new home kit for the upcoming 2024/25 season.

The duo proudly modelled the classic white design with a contemporary twist, showcasing the premium waffle base fabric and the striking red wave side detailing.

As the 2024/25 season approaches, Fulham supporters will undoubtedly be eager to see their team take the field in the latest Adidas-produced kit, with Iwobi and Bassey leading the charge.

And who knows, maybe the fashionable footballer will even inspire a few style trends along the way.
