Iwobi Eager To Show Ancelotti His Class

By Daily Sports on February 5, 2020

Nigeria international Alex Iwobi says his immediate recall to Everton’s starting line-up at Watford came as a welcome surprise over the weekend.

The 23-year-old forward insists the Toffees’ dramatic 3-2 win can prompt a late-season surge up the English Premier League table.

Iwobi injured his hamstring playing against former club Arsenal on the December day Carlo Ancelotti was officially appointed Everton manager.

The creative player confessed he was “itching to show what I could do”, during six weeks on the sidelines when Italian Ancelotti launched his reign on a positive note.

“There is no better feeling than coming back and winning and it was the perfect day for me,” Iwobi told the club’s official website.

“I did not expect to come straight back in, the manager had us guessing with the set pieces we did on Friday, so we did not know [who was playing].

“But we were all ready to start. Whenever it was my time, I knew I would be ready. At times my reactions were a bit slow but that will come the more I am playing. I felt okay, not leggy at all,” he added.

“I always pushed on [during his recovery]. Even when I was told to relax – I tried to show I was able to get back fit. I was eager to be back, especially with a new manager. I was itching to show him what I could do.”

Iwobi has hit the back of the net once in 16 appearances in the Premier League this season. (African Football)
