Nigeria International, Alex Iwobi is determined to win titles with Everton while promising to remain focused and work harder.
Iwobi joined the Toffees last summer from Arsenal on a five-year deal for a fee that could rise to £34m.
The Nigeria international, who has made 17 appearances this term scoring just once with three assists, believes the Toffees have enough quality to compete with the best.
“I think we are good enough to compete in Europe,” Iwobi told his club’s official website.
“I want to win trophies with Everton and be heavily involved in that achievement.
“This Everton side is as good as the Arsenal teams I was in, 100 per cent.
“We have talented, international players, in the team and on the bench. The chemistry in the dressing room is great.
“We are very ambitious and trying to make this a special season and it is exciting when you add talent to the team.”
The 24-year-old also spoke on his recent conversion to wing-back from his attacking role, adding that the move refined his defensive qualities.
“He (Carlo Ancelotti) told me where to be when we don’t have the ball, to prevent the full-back on my side of the pitch bombing on and getting in crosses,” Iwobi added.
“I need to be in certain positions to help us be more solid. Things like needing to come across to cover when the ball is on the other side of the pitch, to always have the right body shape and get in position quicker.
“It is not easy to win a spot, so it makes me work extra hard. I want to be tactically sound defensively and instinctively know the right positions to be in.”
Carlo Ancelotti’s men are currently seventh in the Premier League table with 29 points from 17 games.
