Fulham sign Real Madrid playmaker to compete with Super Eagles star Iwobi
Fulham have completed the signing of Real Madrid playmaker Cesar Palacios, with the club confirming his arrival on its official website.
The move could increase competition for Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi ahead of the new season.
Iwobi has become an important figure at Craven Cottage since joining Fulham, playing a key role in the club’s midfield and attacking setup.
The former Arsenal star's versatility has made him a valuable option, with his ability to operate in different positions helping him earn regular opportunities.
However, Fulham’s decision to bring in Palacios adds another creative midfielder to their squad.
Iwobi can play in several attacking midfield roles but has stated that he feels most comfortable operating as a No. 10, the same advanced position where Cesar Palacios can also feature.
The arrival of the Spanish midfielder means Iwobi will have fresh competition for minutes, as Fulham look to improve their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
Since moving to Fulham from Everton, Iwobi has shown his importance to the team with his energy, creativity and ability to contribute in the final third.
The Super Eagles midfielder will now look to maintain his place in the squad and continue his strong performances despite the arrival of another talented attacking option.
