Former Everton right sided midfielder, Trevor Steven, believes Frank Lampard’s is the reason for Alex Iwobi’s recent class performance this season.
Steven, who started off at Burnley, stated that Iwobi’s new found form is a reflection of the new positive feel within Goodison Park under the management of Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.
“A great working environment changes people’s performance and I would highlight someone on this, Alex Iwobi,” the former Everton man said.
“He had to struggle and struggle and struggle to find his game because we had an unstable environment and a disconnect.”
“Now we’ve got a togetherness and the lad looks like a different player. He’s been a shining example of someone who could see that if he got it right here, this is someplace to be.”
“He’s stuck at it, ridden the hurdles and now he sets his bar when it comes to standards. He’s also got the ability to go with it and that’s what I see as an example of fundamental changes,” Stevens told Liverpool Echo.
Alex Iwobi has been phenomenal for Frank Lampard’s charges this season. The Nigerian usually deployed in midfield has registered 3 assists for the Toffees in 8 Premier League appearances.
