Iwobi tells Dyche, Peseiro he prefers No.8 role

By Daily Sports Nigeria on April 9, 2023

Midfielder, Alex Iwobi, has revealed that he prefers to play in the No.8 role, PUNCH Sports Extra reports

The Nigeria international has played in a variety of roles for club and country, including right wing-back, left winger, right winger, left midfield, attacking midfield, central midfield and as a false nine.

Iwobi operated mostly as a central midfielder under former Toffees boss Frank Lampard but has since been used on the flanks since Sean Dyche took over the managerial reigns at Goodison Park.

It is worth noting that Nigeria manager Jose Peseiro has deployed the Hale End Academy graduate in a deep-lying playmaker role in the team’s last four consecutive matches.

Speaking with his club website on his favourite position Iwobi said, “I get asked this a lot. I like playing as a number eight but wherever I am told to play, I will play.

“It’s something I have to be grateful for. I understand the game. At Everton, I now know I am going to be playing more out wide.

“Before that, I often didn’t know where I was going to start or whether I was going to be involved.  But I know that wherever I am told to play, I am able to produce something for the team.

“I have the mindset to help the team no matter where I am told to play and give 100 per cent.”

Iwobi who made his 30th Premier League appearance for Everton in their 1-0 loss away an Manchester United on Saturday
