Iwobi has been in impressive form for Fulham this season, scoring three goals and providing three assists in 13 league appearances.

The Nigerian international's standout performance in the 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend has earned him special recognition from Silva.

"I call him a happy boy," Silva told reporters.

"When you are in a happy place, when you are so positive and people around you are positive, I think good things will come to you."
