EPL: Iwobi’s form epitomises new Everton spirit, says Steven

Everton legend, Trevor Steven, feels the current form of Alex Iwobi epitomises the spirit now running inside the club.

The Nigeria midfielder is playing the best football of his Goodison career this season.

Steven told the Liverpool Echo: “A great working environment changes people’s performance and I would highlight someone on this, Alex Iwobi. 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 some place to be.

“He’s stuck at it, ridden the hurdles and now he sets his own 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.”
