Alex Iwobi is talking about the multi-coloured braids in his hair and how even his hairstyle has assisted his football in what he views as his best start to a Premier League season up until now.
'Yeah, that really plays a part (in revealing myself),' the Fulham midfielder states.
'My dad's in your house and he's most likely heard me. He didn't like that I coloured my hair. I got tired and didn't wish to suffice off so I believed let's do something various that nobody else has. I literally told the hairdresser to 'express yourself' but not too wild. It's wild because it's red and purple at the minute but I like it. My daddy's accepted it now so I'm simple.'
It's a plain contrast from the short-haired 19-year-old who made his Arsenal launching under Arsene Wenger in 2015.
Iwobi insists that he's always had the mindset of feeling like there's more to life than football but has actually just expressed himself more in current years, going to Paris Fashion Week, launching songs and releasing his charitable structure, Project 17.
'It's always been my pastime to do music, charity work and things in fashion. But it's just just recently that I have actually been expressing myself a lot more, to reveal people that I am not just a footballer. There is more to life, he says.

This weekend, the 28-year-old will have his work cut out as Fulham handle league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and on Sunday, he will be back in London feeding 100 households for Christmas as part of Project 17.
For one day, there will be an in Canning Town, his hometown, where whatever will be complimentary in a local supermarket.
'You know what Liverpool are like - it's going to be an intense game but whether I get constrain or have no hamstrings, I will exist on Sunday,' Iwobi tensions.
'In your house I was raised in, my dad naturally simply returned. To individuals in Nigeria, to his family and even people in the street - he would simply purchase bottles of water and give them to neighbours. Seeing how my mum and papa are has actually motivated me to provide to others, whether they are lucky or less fortunate. With the position I remain in, I seem like it's just ideal with the influence I have that I return also.'
Through these efforts off the pitch, Iwobi thinks is the secret to his success on the pitch too. The Nigerian has actually currently scored more objectives than in any other season, with five in the league for a Fulham side that is just two points behind fifth-placed Nottingham Forest.
'As a child you desire to do your finest to impress the supervisor and want everyone to know you are fully concentrated on football. But it (flexibility) comes with age, being totally free and not being pushed about negative comments. If it's constructive, you don't mind the criticism,' he says.
'You need to be strong mentally. Players do well when they're positive and with me, feeling great to reveal myself on and off the pitch, I almost feel unstoppable. And when you have people that back you, it actually plays a part.'
Among those individuals that backs him is Marco Silva, who signed Iwobi for ₤ 35M at Everton from Arsenal in 2019, and didn't think twice when he had the opportunity to bring him back to London on Deadline Day last year. After his brace versus Brighton recently, Silva said it was Iwobi's 'finest season in the Premier League so far' and he concurs.

Iwobi insists that he's constantly had the frame of mind of feeling like there's more to life than football
Earlier this year, Iwobi became the first Premier League footballer to release a single with his launching tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November released a follow-up 'What's Luv?'
'I have actually been involved in a great deal of objectives, contributing a lot, and defensively I have been working well. You might state it's my best start to the season - I simply need to keep it going and make certain it's my finest season. That's the aim' states Iwobi, who credits Silva for giving him 'the license to express' himself. 'It's nice to have a supervisor who offers you the self-confidence to do that,' he states.
Earlier this year, Iwobi became the first Premier League footballer to release a single with his debut tune 'Don't Shoot' and in November launched a follow-up 'What's Luv?' which is referred to as a celebration of his African roots with a mix of Afro-Swing combined with Rap".
It's also a tune that Silva's enjoying in the dressing space, with Fulham making their finest start to a top-flight season since 2003-04.
'I do not get it on in the dressing room however when you have team-mates like Calvin Bassey, he simply can't help himself, Iwobi reveals.
'He is tapping the manager to listen to the tune. The very first time he (Silva) heard 'What's Luv?' he was just vibing like, 'is this Alex?' and Calvin resembled 'yes it's Alex!' He said it wasn't bad. I understand the first time he didn't understand what was said but he enjoyed the beat. So it's a win-win.
'Everyone vibes with it and I'm having good feedback from the team - even the people who do not speak English as their first language like the Brazilians, they're vibing also,' adds Iwobi.
Silva's strategy at Everton was to construct around the midfielder however he was sacked 4 months after signing Iwobi. Then Carlo Ancelotti played him out of position while Rafa Benitez hardly played him at all.
Iwobi would take a trip throughout the M62 to Manchester and play seven-a-side with his mates in camouflage to enjoy his football again. Now that delight has been discovered after his ₤ 22M relocation in 2015.
'Everyone's frame of mind is one for all and all for one so that's certainly assisting us this season. We've been having team meals and bonding and that's brought a great deal of togetherness, states Iwobi.

'Even when Sander (Berge) and Joa (Andersen) signed, they took us out to consume. We organised a journey to Paris to clear our heads (after the Wolves loss), returned then went again with the Tottenham and Brighton results. We seem like we're ready to fly and we can do anything together.'
Another team meal is organised for midweek ahead of a run of 3 games in seven days over Christmas. 'The gaffer desires to take us out. That's another little bit of free food so I'm not grumbling,' jokes Iwobi. 'It's really great. It's like one big family.'
But initially, Fulham will head to Anfield with belief, having taken points from Arsenal last week and directly losing at Man City in October in a video game where Pep Guardiola had lots of credit for Fulham.
'It reveals we have the capability to complete with anyone. We are not terrified. Hopefully it will be the exact same versus Liverpool. We are going there to get an outcome,' Iwobi insists.
Get something at Anfield and Arne Slot's league-leaders might well be hearing 'What's Luv' blasting out from the away dressing space.
