Sunday Oliseh has revealed how excited and proud he is to have Alex Iwobi as a compatriot.

Iwobi has now grown accustomed to his new role and looks to be one of the most important players in the team in every game.

“Alex Iwobi’s Performance today especially, & in recent months,has me excited & makes me so proud as a compatriot. Vision,physical, clairvoyance,pace, aggressive & above all,he has found total belief in his capabilities.This is great for ‘Naija’ & Everton. Bravo Lampard and Alex!!,” Oliseh tweeted.

Iwobi played from start to finish in as part of a double pivot alongside Amadou Onana and impressed in the role with his great energy and vision.

The Everton #17 also responded Oliseh’s tweet with an appreciative “Thank you, Legend” comment.
