Super Eagles and Everton midfielder, Alex Iwobi, is delighted to be acknowledged for his brilliant display on the pitch this season.
The former Arsenal man has been one of the top performers for the Toffees this season and the fans at Goodison Park have developed strong affection towards the Nigeria International.
“It’s nice to get acknowledged by the fans, but I just tried to stay level-headed,” Iwobi said in a video posted on Everton’s YouTube channel.
“Don’t go to high, don’t go too low, have a balance. Being a fan favourite…I’m not too sure, there’s a lot of fan favourites at the club! But it does give me that confidence going unto the pitch.
“You almost feel unstoppable, almost like you can do anything on the pitch. Obviously the place I’m in right now, I like to play forward and create chances- even if the chances don’t come off the fans will still acknowledge that you are trying.”
Iwobi added : “It’s a nice place to be in, every player wants the confidence to feel like they’re unbeatable and there’s nothing wrong they can do. I feel like it’s the best time and my most confident time at Everton, but I’ve got a long time to go- I’ve still got two years, if anything happens from then.
“I feel like I’m part of the Everton family. I’ve not got the Scouse accent yet, which I’ll never get! But I feel like I’m one of them.”
“It’ll be weird if I ever come to an end of Everton, but I feel like I’ll always be a part of it one way or another so it’s nice to be here.”
