Bassey’s versatility stems from his journey through Leicester City’s youth system, then success at Rangers (winning both league and cup), a stint at Ajax, and now anchoring Fulham’s defence.
Iwobi is exploring creative outlets beyond football he launched a music career in 2024 under the stage name "17", releasing singles that blend Afro-swing and reflective lyricism.
Muniz’s late equaliser added to his tally from the previous season, where he was Fulham’s second-highest scorer across all competitions, just behind Raúl Jiménez.
Fulham’s season opener showcased their depth, with academy graduate Josh King drawing interest for his lively cameo—an encouraging signal for the club’s youth policy.
Brighton’s frustration was evident they dominated large spells and squandered several good chances, yet were undone in the final seconds, highlighting the fine margins at this level.
