Fulham midfielder and Nigerian international Alex Iwobi was reportedly the target of a serious home invasion at his residence in England, where attackers made off with valuables believed to be worth around £500,000.
Sources indicate that the gang forced entry into the property and confronted the 27‑year‑old at knifepoint, holding him while they ransacked the home. Among the items allegedly stolen were designer wristwatches, jewelry, two iPhones, a MacBook laptop, and approximately £200,000 in cash. Early assessments place the total value of stolen goods at roughly half a million pounds.
Local law enforcement has launched an investigation into the incident, with enquiries ongoing into how the perpetrators gained access and subsequently fled the scene. There has been no confirmation that Iwobi or any members of his household suffered physical injury during the break‑in.
The incident comes shortly after Iwobi featured as a key player for Fulham in their recent Premier League victory underscoring the midfielder’s continued importance to his club’s campaign.
