Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi has expressed his desire to inspire young people through football and music.
The Fulham star is combining football and music together.
Iwobi recently released his second single titled ‘What’s Luv?’.
The 28-year-old released his debut single ‘Don’t Shoot’ in June.
“Growing up in an area of London that is challenging for some people, I know how hard it can be, and I’m grateful to have a platform to try and make a difference,” he told BBC Sport.
“I hope that my music is another way of proving that young people do not have to feel they have to fit in just one box. I want them to be encouraged to achieve their dreams and to put their focus into positive things.
“Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football; it helps me switch off. I will always work hard and try to improve in my sport, but this is a good use of my spare time.”
