Watch: Iwobi referees wrestling match between Bassey and Adama Traore

Soccer

Super Eagles and Fulham stars, Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi, were in high spirits following their training session as they engaged Spanish attacker, Adama Traore, in a wrestling bout, Soccernet.ng reports.

The trio have been involved in 24 goals for Marco Silva’s side in the English top-flight this season, fuelling a campaign that might see the Cottagers qualify for European competitions after nearly two decades.

Away from the football pitch, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey have been making their personality shown via social media, showing they enjoy life away from the pitch.
