New Fulham signing Emile Smith Rowe has dedicated his debut goal to Super Eagles duo Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.
The 23-year-old, who joined the Cottagers from Arsenal last week in a deal worth £34 million, scored against Sevilla after coming on as a second half substitute in the preseason friendly.
The England international pulled a goal back in the 52nd minute after the Rojiblancos had taken a two-goal lead, courtesy of Isaac Romero's brace.
Sharing his thoughts after the game, the former Gunners man had his post-match interview interfered by Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, two teammates who has helped him settle after completing his move to Creven Cottage.
“These two, honestly, they’re jokers. I love my new teammates, and I’ve settled in really well. I feel really comfortable. I dedicate my goal to you two because I think you welcomed me into the team,” Smith Rowe told Super Eagles duo, Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi.
