Confirmed: Fulham offer new deal to Nigerian midfielder who can play as a six or an eight

With a statement on their official website, Fulham have confirmed the players who are out of contract this month and are therefore expected to leave the club on June 30, 2026.

However, the Cottagers are keen to retain left-footed Nigerian midfielder Chibby Nwoko, and have offered him a professional contract.

Signed from Chelsea at U12 level, Nwoko has been described as one of Fulham's best U21 players, and can play as 'a six or an eight'.

Although he is yet to make his senior debut for Fulham, he gained valuable first-team experience during a loan spell at Forest Green Rovers in the second half of last season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in 20 appearances.

A natural leader, Nwoko captained Fulham's U18 side before earning a permanent promotion to the U21 squad.

He has represented Fulham at academy level in the U18 Premier League, FA Youth Cup, Premier League International Cup, National League Cup, EFL Trophy and Premier League 2.

Nwoko has also been capped three times by England at U18 level, although it is understood that he remains open to representing Nigeria internationally.

The 20-year-old is represented by the same agency as Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi, Ola Aina, Terem Moffi, Josh Maja and Joe Aribo.
