Iwobi needs to start turning in good performances’ –Alex Bruce
Former Hull City defender Alex Bruce has advised Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi to be consistent with good performances if he hopes to secure a starting spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
The Super Eagles midfielder has only returned one goal after 24 Premier League outings in his debut season with the Toffees
Since his £35 million move from Arsenal last summer, the 24-year-old has been struggling for form on Merseyside and has scored just a single goal in 24 league appearances this season.
On Sunday, Iwobi played 34 minutes of football after replacing Anthony Gordon as Everton were hammered 3-0 by Wolverhampton Wanderers in a Premier League outing.
Following his introduction, the Nigeria international did not register any shots, but he managed to make a key pass and a successful dribble.
Bruce, in his assessment of the former Arsenal star, described his Everton career has ‘stop-start’ and urged him to turn his form around if intends to be in Ancelotti’s plans.
“Arsenal let him go for probably similar reasons as you’ve said. It’s not often you’d let a lad with his attributes and age leave to go to a rival club in Everton,” Bruce told Football Insider.
“You would have hoped he would have kicked on but unfortunately it’s been a little bit stop-start for him and if he’s going to cement a place in someone like Carlo Ancelotti’s team, he’ll need to start performing on a regular basis.
“He needs to start turning in good performances on a regular basis if he wants to be in Ancelotti’s plans.”
