Congolese sensation Awilo is famous in Nigeria, as he remains one of the few artists who sold out the 55,000-capacity National Stadium in Surulere Lagos when he was invited.

And Iwobi was seen in the gym at his new club, vibing to the song while training.

The former Everton star stopped and showed a glimpse of Makossa's dancing steps.

Iwobi made his debut for Fulham last weekend against Luton Town in the Premier League, according to Soccernet.

The Cottagers won the game, courtesy of Carlos Vinicius' second-half goal in the 65th minute. The former Arsenal star started the game on the bench but replaced Harrison Reed in the 62nd minute.

The 27-year-old was close to scoring for the London side on his debut but the woodwork denied him.

The Nigerian player will be in contention for a starting berth in Marco Silva's side's next game against London rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Iwobi teases music career with picture

Former Arsenal striker, Alexandre Lacazette reacted to the picture by tagging his other teammates, Maitland Niles and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
