SUPER Eagles of Nigeria player, Alex Iwobi has praised the Everton football club manager, Frank Lampard, for his style of leadership and for giving him the opportunity to feature in games since joining Everton from Arsenal.

Frank Lampard, who captained Chelsea football club was appointed manager of Everton football club in January 2022 and has been able to maximise the potential of the Arsenal academy graduate.

"When he [Lampard] first got appointed, I came back from AFCON and he's always given me the belief to go and express myself and play the way I train.

"He's always given me the belief and confidence that I can just go out there and enjoy my football, and so ever since he's been appointed I've been doing that and repaying the faith that he's shown in me.

"I mean, sometimes he does tell me to cool down and keep the ball, enjoy the ball, but he also enjoys the fact that I'm always trying to progress with the ball and get the team up the pitch with the ball, so as long as I'm just expressing myself, I don't think he minds," Iwobi told the official Everton website.

Iwobi has repaid the faith Lampard had in him and has secured his place in the starting lineup of the team. He has been a tremendous impact on the team putting up a lovely performance in Everton's 1-1 draw against Brentford during the weekend.
