Iwobi explains reason behind leaving Arsenal for Everton

  /  autty

Alex Iwobi says he is looking to shake the "youngster" tag and 'make a name for himself' at Everton following his deadline day move from Arsenal .

“I spoke to the manager and Marcel and they almost lured me in,” Iwobi told evertontv.

“The offer was too attractive for me to turn down."

“The manager was telling me, 'There is a spot for you, we will take care of you'. Basically, all the things you want to hear as a player.

“I always had that youngster tag at Arsenal, so hopefully with this move I am able to make a name for myself in the Premier League and create history with Everton.”

“It is exciting times for Everton,” added Iwobi, who did not feature in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace on the opening weekend of the season.

“I was able to look at the transfers and players they have brought in – some great talent. It is not just me.

“There were quality players here before [the summer] and they are still here.

“The manager has worked with Richarlison for a long while and made a name for him.

“Hopefully he can do the same for not just me but Moise Kean and a few others who came in, too.”
