Super Eagles mercurial midfielder Alex Iwobi has being in blistering form in the English Premier League of late with handsome goals returns.
It is a good sign for the Super Eagles that Alex Iwobi is experiencing a purple patch in front of goal for Fulham.
We have make-or-mar world cup qualifiers in about 3 months time. So, having midfielders who have discovered a route to goal can only be a good thing for our chances.
Whether it be Eguavoen or a new foreign coach at the Super Eagles dugout in March, the players still have to do the deed on the pitch.
With 4 goals in his last 6 games in the English Premier League for Fulham, Iwobi is definitely doing the deed in front of goal.
To reproduce that sort of ruthlessness for Nigeria in March will be gold.
Alex Iwobi gets a bad rap from a section of the Super Eagles fan base. You have to go back to 2022 for the last time he scored a goal for the national team. Assists, which used to be his stock-in-trade for Nigeria have also dried up recently.
I for one still hold him dear for Nigeria. Goals and assists have dried up due to Iwobi being played more as a centre midfielder, a position I think he performs with professionalism.
Should he be moved further up the pitch for March's qualifiers, I have no doubt we are likely to see this reincarnation of Iwobi firing on all cylinders.
