During our end-of-season discussions, we all recognized the quality in the team and agreed to aim higher. Everyone is eager and ready to push up the table.”
Iwobi’s current contract with Fulham runs until June 30, 2028, and his market value stands at €25 million. As the new season approaches, Iwobi and his teammates are focused on achieving a stronger finish and showcasing their true abilities.
