Alex Iwobi says it will be great if Fulham can secure a place in Europe at the end of the 2025/26 season.
The Whites narrowly missed out on a place in Europe last season despite amassing their highest points tally in the history of the Premier League.
Marco Silva’s side also lost to eventual FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the quarter-final.
Iwobi played in the UEFA Champions League, and Europa League during his time with Arsenal.
The Nigeria international expressed his desire to have a taste of European football once again.
“Everyone wants to play in Europe. I have played in Europe before – I want a taste of it again,” the versatile midfielder told Standard Sport.
European champions Paris Saint-Germain began the new season by lifting more silverware on Wednesday as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup after producing a late comeback to draw the match 2-2.
Spurs looked set to get their hands on the trophy in their first competitive match under new coach Thomas Frank as they led 2-0 just after half-time at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy.
Micky van de Ven gave last season’s Europa League winners the lead on 39 minutes and Cristian Romero got their second goal three minutes into the second half.
However, PSG were rescued by two substitutes as Lee Kang-in pulled a goal back in the 85th minute and Goncalo Ramos headed in the equaliser four minutes into injury time.
