Iwobi says Fulham boss Marco Silva has created a “sense of togetherness” that is empowering the squad and bringing out the best in him.

“I feel like [I am] just expressing myself a bit more,” said the former Arsenal and Everton man.

“The manager gives me that license and freedom to try and get into more goalscoring opportunities. Even if I make a mistake he says: ‘Alex, go again.’

“Having that confidence from him, [and] my team-mates backing me, it makes you feel almost unstoppable. You are willing to try and do anything on the pitch.”

The west Londoners have not finished higher than 10th in the Premier League since 2011-12, and Iwobi hopes to remain in contention for the European places.

“We have the players and I haven’t played in Europe in a long time, so it’s a dream I want to achieve again,” Iwobi added.

“We’re not scared of no-one. We’re confident that we can compete against anyone and take three points. The sky’s the limit.”
