Fulham winger Alex Iwobi has revealed that the club has banned him from posting behind-the-scenes content on social media, warning that he could face fines if he continues. The Nigeria international, known for his Snapchat updates offering fans a glimpse into football life, said a member of the club's media team objected to his posts.
In a video recorded from his car, Iwobi explained: "For those that have been wondering why I haven't been snapping BTS in the changing room, there's one person in the media team that has been saying I haven't been capturing the right stuff. So there's no more BTS. They also said I might get fined if I continue to do so."
While the exact reason for the ban remains unclear, speculation among fans suggested Iwobi may have inadvertently leaked captain Tom Cairney's new one-year contract before the club officially announced it. Iwobi apologised to his followers, stating: "It's a shame man, I know you guys enjoy seeing what my team mates are like behind the scenes but I have to respect the rules."
Fulham, managed by Marco Silva, are currently preparing for the new Premier League season with pre-season friendlies in Portugal. They finished 11th last season, with Iwobi contributing nine goals and six assists. The club kicks off their league campaign away to Brighton on 16 August.
