Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has come out to hail the impact Alex Iwobi is having at Everton. He recently suggested that he could easily fit into Mikel Arteta’s side, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is very pleased with how Iwobi has settled into Everton’s side, and his ball progression and work rate would have been very useful in the current Arsenal team.
Ian added that it was sad to see how Arsenal fans ridiculed the Nigerian before he was sold to Everton.
His words, “I am so pleased with the way it is going for him,”
“I remember Arsenal fans, it’s the same thing they did with [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain, they ridiculed him. I remember watching him play in midfield early days for Arsenal at West Ham, and you’re seeing something.”
“His ball progression and work rate, what Frank [Lampard] has now recognised him and put him there, listen to the Everton fans when he’s doing his work, they are adoring him now. I’m loving the way it’s working out for Iwobi.”
“I am just talking about somebody who’s making a massive difference to what Everton needs – the work rate, his ball progression, his passing, everything,”
“He is the pass before the assist, people don’t realise it. Everton fans are now starting to realise that if they get the right players in and around him, he’s going to be a force for them.”
“You look at his work rate, it’s unbelievable. It’s the kind of intensity that Mikel wants and needs now, we need that, we need somebody who can press like that.”
