Everton boss Lampard: Iwobi making selection demands

Everton boss Frank Lampard is delighted with what he’s seeing from Alex Iwobi.

Lampard believes Iwobi has ‘demanded’ a place in the Everton starting line-up after his performance against Leeds United.

He also insisted his appointment as manager is a ‘restart’ for the entire squad and says he is ‘open minded’ on picking players.

Iwobi starred on the right-flank at Goodison Park as Everton ran out 3-0 victors over Leeds thanks to goals from Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane and Anthony Gordon.

Lampard said: “One of the beauties of coming in two weeks ago is it’s a restart, a reboot for everybody.

“I’m open minded to players, all of the squad, and what Alex has done is he’s trained at a great level.

“He’s a quiet lad, keeps his head down, trains with talent, trains with work ethic, and the way we changed the formation of the team and played with wide-men as we did, Alex has just sort of demanded a place in the team with his performance.

“He just needs to believe in himself and I said it to him before the game. I certainly believe in him from the things I’ve seen but the work ethic side of his game he showed in that role.”
