Frank Lampard has been singing the praises of Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi, as the 26-year-old has enjoyed a terrific start to the season for the Merseyside club.
Iwobi has been somewhat reborn under the guidance of the former Chelsea boss, who has moved the Nigeria international into central midfield.
Speaking to The Times, Lampard gushed over the Toffees midfielder claiming he has “so many talents”, one the Blues can benefit from incoming seasons.
“He is playing with incredible consistency,” Lampard said. “He did a lot for us last season played some games at No 8 and I really liked him. It suited his talent, in terms of strength and quality of pass.
“He has so many talents. I would not like to have played against him as a midfield player. He can run and run.”
Lampard is spitting facts with this one, Iwobi has been nothing short of excellent this season and continues to improve week on week in the Premier League.
The Everton midfielder has been in frightening form since making the switch to the central midfield role and looks to have finally found his natural position on the pitch.
Iwobi does the dirty work for the Toffees but highlighted his ability to contribute on Saturday against Southampton, providing an assist.
