Premier League star reveals club has banned him from behind the scenes filming

Fulham star Alex Iwobi has said that he is no longer allowed to post behind the scenes content on his social media channels following a warning from club officials that he will be fined.

The former Arsenal forward has garnered a big following on Snapchat thanks to regular glimpses of what life is like for a footballer.

It is unclear what specific content has prompted the Cottagers to inform him that he is no longer allowed to share footage of what happens off the pitch and in the dressing room.

But there had been unconfirmed speculation from some fans that he had accidentally leaked that captain Tom Cairney had signed a new one-year contract before the club had officially confirmed it.

But Iwobi, in a video clip recorded from his car, set his story straight while apologising to his fans.

In the post, captioned “No more Fulham dressing room snaps, sorry my peoples”, the Nigeria international said: "For those that have been wondering why I haven't been snapping BTS in the changing room, there's one person in the media team that has been saying I haven't been capturing the right stuff.

"So there's no more BTS. They also said I might get fined if I continue to do so. They are trying to ban Snap in our changing room, so yeah that's why I haven't been snapping BTS.

"It's a shame man, I know you guys enjoy seeing what my team mates are like behind the scenes but I have to respect the rules."

Marco Silva's side are set to face Nottingham Forest in a pre-season friendly behind closed doors in Faro, Portugal, on Saturday before fixtures against Saudi Pro League outfit Al Ittihad and Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt.

They kick off their Premier League campaign with a visit to Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday August 16 at 3pm.

Fulham finished 11th last season with Iwobi scoring nine goals and providing six assists.
