Former Arsenal midfielder, Alex Iwobi, has shared that he left Arsenal for Everton mainly because he had a youngster tag at Arsenal and feels he could create something bigger with Everton.

The Nigerian International player who made this known while fielding questions from journalists shortly after a training session ahead of their clash with Watford on Saturday, said Everton’s offer was too good for him to turn down.

His words:

“I spoke to the manager and Marcel [Brands] and they almost lured me in.”

“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.”
