Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has earned recognition for his attacking contributions in the Premier League, ranking joint-third for the most carries ending in a goal during the 2024–25 season, according to data from football statistics website WhoScored.
Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, who is reportedly a transfer target for Manchester United, tops the chart with nine such carries. He is followed by Manchester City striker Erling Haaland in second place with six.
Iwobi shares third position with five goal-ending carries, alongside West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen and Newcastle United’s Harvey Barnes.
Iwobi’s presence on the list highlights his significance to Fulham’s counter-attacking approach, particularly in games where the team absorbed pressure and struck on the break — a strategy that served the West London club effectively during the season.

The Cottagers narrowly missed out on securing European qualification, but they still ended the campaign on a high note by amassing 54 points — their best-ever finish in a Premier League season.
Iwobi wrapped up the campaign with nine goals and six assists, making it the most prolific season of his professional career. He also came close to hitting double figures in league goals for the first time, but went scoreless in his final five appearances.
His impressive performances this season have also earned him individual recognition at club level, with two of his goals making the shortlist for Fulham’s Goal of the Season award. His composed finish against his former club Everton and a stunning curling effort against Wolves are among 15 nominated strikes vying for the honour.
