Young Nigerian midfield enforcer Chibuzor ‘Chibby’ Nwoko made his mark at the heart of Fulham’s U21 team during the 2024/2025 season, excelling in his ball-carrying duties and chipping in with some spectacular goals, Completesports.com reports.. Known for his composure and technical ability, along with a strong range of passing and versatility across the midfield, Chibby has predominantly played in the number 6 role throughout his young career..

When I do score, it seems to be a good goal, so I’m happy about that. I don’t know why, but they seem to be screamers, to be honest.”.
