Everton coach Frank Lampard has urged his star player Alex Iwobi to add more to his game as they face Manchester United Sunday at Goodison Park.
Iwobi has been the spark in the Everton midfield in their recent games and according to Lampard, a former Chelsea midfield maestro, it was down to the Super Eagles player to improve more.
“Can he add more to his game? Yes. In and around the final third he can do more because his talent says so,” Lampard told Royal Blue Mersey.
“In-game he can do more, he can assist more, maybe score himself a bit more, but I’m not complaining there, he’s been fantastic for us,” Lampard said as quoted by Royal Blue Mersey.
“Since I’ve been here he hasn’t changed. He has been a fantastic player for me in whatever position I played him in last year.
“In the summer I gave pause for thought and how we construct the team as you move forward, and I wanted to move Alex into a more central position regularly – to finish the season he was a wingback at times – because I just felt it would really suit his attributes.
“Then it’s down to him. Of course having a good team structure really helps any player, but it’s been down to him. I’m just delighted he’s getting the recognition he deserves as being one of the top midfield players in the Premier League at the moment. That’s how I feel about him.”
