Arsenal legend Ian Wright may have been proven right over his claim surrounding former player Alex Iwobi. He believes the Nigeria international, who left the Gunners for Goodison Park for £35million in August 2019, is exactly what Mikel Arteta could do with in his squad.
The forward has been converted to a midfielder under Frank Lampard at Everton, using his energy both on and off the ball, as well as the creative spark he possess to shine for the Toffees. This has led him to being nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for September.
While there's still plenty more to come from Iwobi, it certainly backs up Wright's claim, when he previously said on the Wrighty's House Podcast: "His ball progression and work rate, what Frank [Lampard] has now recognised him and put him there, listen to the Everton fans when he’s doing his work, they are adoring him now. I’m loving the way it’s working out for Iwobi.
