Okocha In Regular Contact, Maybe One Day I Can Perform Better Than Him — Iwobi

By Daily sports on November 29, 2020

Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi has revealed how his famous uncle Jay-Jay Okocha is in regular contact.

Iwobi says he doesn’t feel any pressure to live up to his elder relative as he is given plenty of encouragement to be himself when he plays.

Speaking to Weekend Warmup, he said: “He’s always encouraging me, I don’t feel the pressure at all.

“He has always being telling me from young just go and express yourself so I don’t feel no pressure whenever I’m stepping on the pitch.

“I remember as a kid just going to watch him and some of the skills, some of the performances, the assists, the goals he used to get were outrageous.

“Maybe one day I can produce better than him.” (Tribal Football)
