The former Arsenal star, Alex Iwobi said has revealed his best playing position for his clubside Everton and for Nigeria’s National team, the Super Eagles.
According to the 25-year-old, being drafted into several positions since he left Arsenal in 2019 for a new adventure at Goodison Park, has helped him play dominantly as a playmaker.
Iwobi told the club’s website: “I think playing different roles has helped me to understand the game a bit more, especially those defensive roles. I’m not going to complain – playing right wing-back, right midfield, left midfield, I’ll play anywhere and I’ll always give my best.
“My aim is to get more goals and assists but if I’m asked to do it at right wing-back, then I’ll do it and try my best!
“I think, for Everton, my best position for the team is probably out wide. For my national team, it’s completely different and I do like playing in the midfield as a number 8 or number 10.
“I feel like I can play in any position. For each manager and each team it’s going to be different.”
Iwobi has not hidden his admiration for Rafael Benitez since the former Liverpool coach succeeded Carlo Ancelotti at the helm in June.
The Super Eagles star hailed Benitez for his form and the team’s overall performance as they currently sit fourth in the Premier League table with 10 points after four games.
“I think the manager has really made us feel confident,” he added.
“He’s made sure we’re working hard every day and I think that’s showing out on the pitch.
