Has an Everton player ever changed the wider perception about themselves quite as much as Alex Iwobi?
From someone much-maligned by large sections of the fanbase, from a player who didn't seem to truly fit into any of the systems a selection of managers brought to Goodison Park - he's now the first name on the teamsheet. He's the most influential man in Frank Lampard 's side, someone setting examples for the rest of the squad around him.
His transformation has been truly exceptional in what is realistically a very short space of time. Even towards the end of 2021, with Rafael Benitez still in charge of the Blues, there were huge question marks over the Nigeria international's place in the squad and his contribution since joining the club.
