Speaking to Fulham’s official website, Iwobi said: “I’m buzzing to be here, and I can’t wait to get started.
“I’ve been following Fulham for a while now and am excited about the project here.
“I’m looking forward to working with the manager and the players and helping the team achieve its goals.”
Fulham manager Marco Silva said: “Alex is a talented player who I’m excited to work with.
“He’s versatile and can play in several positions, which will give us more options in attack.
“I’m confident he will be a valuable addition to the team.”
Iwobi is expected to make his Fulham debut in the club’s next Premier League game against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
