Everton coach, Frank Lampard, says Alex Iwobi is an intelligent player whose versatility he admires as the Toffees prepare for their Premier League game against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Everton will aim to get their first 2022/23 Premier League points on the board after they suffered a narrow defeat to Chelsea at Goodison Park last weekend.
Lampard also highlighted Iwobi’s central-midfield performance as one of several encouraging signs from the game – and says the Nigerian is receiving the recognition his exemplary professionalism deserves.
“He’s gaining so much respect and backing…from the fans, particularly.
“The benefits of Alex were very clear early in my days of getting here. He’s versatile because of his qualities, and he’s also versatile because of his humility.
“Anything you ask of him, he does it, and he does it really well. He’s an intelligent footballer.
“When I considered moving him into central midfield, I asked him about the positions he’s played throughout his career. He literally named pretty much every position on the pitch! He’s done it all.
