Alex Iwobi is keen for Fulham to conclude our season in style at Kenilworth Road on Sunday, before adding consistency to our game in 2024/25.
One win from our last eight has seen hopes of a top-half finish fall away, and Iwobi knows the importance of stringing results together next term if we’re to progress.
Asked what he wants his team to show on the pitch against Luton Town, he replied: “Just to end the season high, to prove to ourselves, prove to our fans that we are a good team, no matter who we play against.
“Whether that’s City or Luton, we treat teams with the same amount of respect, and try and get a result.
“We know the capabilities we have to beat teams. It’s just the run of results, we haven’t been consistent.
“We see [quality] in training every day, we’ve proven it in so many matches, it’s just remaining consistent has been our problem.
“But I’m sure going into next season we’ll figure it out and push up the table.”
Iwobi has impressed during his first campaign in SW6, matching his career best tally of six goals – a number he also achieved for Arsenal in 2018/19.
“A bit of a rollercoaster, but it’s been a good season,” he replied when asked for his assessment of the year. “We’ve had some memorable moments which we can cherish this season.
“I’ve had my best goal scoring record again, hopefully I can break it against Luton, but it’s been a good season.
“I’ve enjoyed working with Marco Silva and the team, they’ve welcomed me very well. Being back in London as well, I’ve enjoyed it, and I just want to kick on from this season and keep improving.”
Mathematically, Sunday’s opponents can still avoid relegation, but the need for a 12-goal swing almost certainly means an immediate return to the Championship.
“I feel their season’s been unfortunate, because they’ve had some games where they probably feel they should have won or got a result,” Iwobi said.
“It’s last home game for them, so I’m sure they’ll want to end the season on a high and give something back to the fans.
“We know it’s not going to be an easy game, but we’d like to finish strong as well and end on a win.”
