“Iwobi Deserves More Respect” Ex-Super Eagles Player Says Fulham Star Ranks Among Nigeria’s Best

“Iwobi deserves more respect” Ex-Super Eagles player says Fulham star ranks among Nigeria’s best A former Super Eagles player has called for greater appreciation of Alex Iwobi, insisting the midfielder deserves far more respect for his consistent performances for club and country. The ex-international, reacting to ongoing debates around Iwobi’s role in the national team, said the Fulham midfielder should be ranked “up there with the best” Nigerian players of his generation. He argued that while Iwobi often faces criticism from sections of fans, his overall contribution to the Super Eagles has been undervalued compared to his consistency and reliability in midfield. Iwobi, who has been a regular feature for Nigeria in recent tournaments, has often been praised by analysts for his creativity, passing ability, and tactical discipline, even when playing in unfamiliar roles. Recent commentary around his performances has also highlighted how he continues to influence games in major competitions, with some observers insisting that his importance to the team is not always fully recognised. Supporters and pundits alike have repeatedly pointed out that the midfielder remains one of Nigeria’s most experienced and dependable players, having featured at multiple Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and World Cup qualifying campaigns. The latest backing adds to growing calls for the 29-year-old to be judged more fairly based on his overall impact rather than isolated performances.
