In an unfiltered and striking admission, Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has sparked major headlines across the Premier League by naming Diogo Jota as one of the most terrifying players in the league right now.
After returning from the international break, Jota hasn’t missed a beat—in fact, he’s somehow gotten even more dangerous.
Speaking to reporters ahead of Fulham’s upcoming showdown against Liverpool, Iwobi didn’t hold back his respect—or fear—for the Portuguese forward.
“That guy Jota is just too much!” Iwobi said with a mix of awe and concern. “Even after the international break, he came back even scarier. Now we have to play Liverpool, and honestly? As long as he’s starting, we’re in big trouble. I don’t even like going up against him—he’s just too good and too hard to stop.”
It’s rare to hear a Premier League player speak so candidly about an opponent, but Jota’s recent form speaks volumes. His movement, positioning, and lethal finishing have made him one of the most feared attackers in the league. Despite Liverpool boasting big names like Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez, it’s Jota who is quietly stealing the spotlight.
Iwobi even hinted at a growing sense of unease among other teams, saying, “No one’s talking about it, but teams are actually scared. He’s making this league feel like a battlefield.”
Jota has always had a knack for scoring in key moments, but this season, he seems to have found a new level of menace. Whether it’s a poacher’s finish or a brilliant run between defenders, he’s turning defenses inside out with unnerving ease.
As Liverpool prepare to travel to Craven Cottage, all eyes will be on the man who’s making Premier League defenders lose sleep: Diogo Jota.
With statements like these from Iwobi, one thing is clear—Diogo Jota isn’t just in form. He’s a problem. A serious one.
