Nigeria international Alex Iwobi has been shortlisted for Fulham’s Goal of the Month award for February 2026, following a period of exceptional form for the West London club. The 29-year-old midfielder finds himself in a competitive seven-person race for the individual honor, facing off against first-team colleagues Raúl Jiménez, Kevin, Jonah Kusi-Asare, and Harrison Reed. The nomination list is rounded out by Anna Grey from the women’s squad and academy talent Macauley Zepa, highlighting a diverse range of spectacular strikes across the club’s various divisions.
The specific effort that earned Iwobi his place on the ballot was a clinical finish during Fulham’s 3-1 triumph over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. In a display of tactical fluidity, the versatile playmaker capitalized on a swift attacking move, expertly guiding the ball into the back of the net after receiving a precise delivery from teammate Harry Wilson. The goal acted as a crucial insurance policy in the away victory, further cementing Iwobi’s reputation as one of Marco Silva’s most reliable offensive threats this season.
“Alex Iwobi is in the running for Fulham’s Goal of the Month for February. Iwobi will battle six other players, Raúl Jiménez, Kevin, Jonah Kusi-Asare, Harrison Reed, Anna Grey, and Macauley Zepa for the individual accolade. The 29-year-old’s clinical strike in Fulham’s 3-1 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light was shortlisted for the award.”
Should Iwobi emerge victorious in the fan-led vote, it would mark a nostalgic milestone for the former Arsenal and Everton man; he last claimed the club’s Goal of the Month trophy exactly two years ago in February 2024. His current nomination is backed by a solid statistical foundation in the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, where he has already registered four goals and three assists. This level of productivity has been central to Fulham’s push into the top half of the table as they enter the final stretch of the season.
“The versatile midfielder slotted the ball expertly into the net after he was teed up by Harry Wilson. Incidentally, Iwobi last won the award in February 2024. He has scored four times, and provided three assists in the Premier League this season.”
As the voting period opens, supporters are encouraged to review the shortlist on the club’s official digital platforms. For Iwobi, the nomination serves as further validation of his successful reinvention at Craven Cottage, where his blend of technical skill and work rate has made him an indispensable asset. Whether his dinked finish against the Black Cats is enough to beat out Harrison Reed’s long-range efforts or the prowess of the women’s team remains to be seen, but the Nigerian’s influence on Fulham’s recent winning streak is undeniable.
