Fulham manager, Marco Silva has praised Alex Iwobi for his magnanimity towards the less privileged in East London.
Iwobi opened a temporary shop tagged ‘Alexpress’ where he gave out free food, including groceries and turkeys, to local residents.
Silva was happy with Iwobi’s action and described him as a “top guy”.
“Amazing. Helping people who don’t have the same conditions as you – it’s a great thing,” the gaffer told reporters.
“It doesn’t surprise me because Alex is a top guy and someone who cares about others.
“He should be proud of what he’s doing.”
Iwobi returned to on-field activities to help Fulham land a killer blow and defeat Chelsea 2-1 on Thursday evening.
The victory lifted Silva’s men to 8th in the Premier League standings, just 5 points off the top four.
