Alex Iwobi Calls Jay Jay Okocha His Ultimate Football GOAT
Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has declared that his uncle, Nigerian football legend Austin Jay Jay Okocha, is his greatest player of all time (GOAT).
Speaking on “Is This Seat Taken?” podcast, Iwobi described Okocha as his lifelong idol, crediting him for shaping both his football career and personal life.
“My GOAT will always be my uncle, Jay Jay Okocha. He’s a legend on and off the field,” Iwobi said. “I used to watch his training sessions and matches, and he’s the one who taught me how to express myself on the pitch.”
Beyond football, Iwobi revealed that Okocha has been a strong mentor, guiding him on professionalism, financial management, and staying humble.
“Off the field, he always gives me advice on how to carry myself, manage my money, and remain grounded,” he added.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
