Super Eagles striker Alex Iwobi says his aim is to continue developing at Everton and hopefully help the club win some trophies.

Iwobi has been enjoying good run of game under Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti after overcoming the muscle injury that sidelined him earlier in the season.

The former Arsenal midfielder’s versatility has been blessing to the Toffees as he has played in three different positions, including the right wing back.

Iwobi told Everton’s website that he’s be involved in recent matches, but want to keep improving with the team.

“I want to win trophies with Everton and be heavily involved in that achievement,” says Iwobi.

“We are very ambitious and trying to make this a special season and it is exciting when you add talent to the team.”

Iwobi is one of the players tipped to leave the club following the arrival of James Rodriguez and Abdoulaye Doucoure, but the Nigerian fought hard to win a place for himself in the squad.

“It is not easy to win a spot, so it makes me work extra hard, i know if I don’t play well, others will get ahead of me.”

“Training has been full-on and everyone is doing their best to prove they should be starting, that is a healthy situation ” he said.

Everton will get their 2020-2021 English FA Cup campaign underway today at Goodison Park against Rotterham and Iwobi will be hoping to be involved once more.
