Everton's Nigerian striker Alex Iwobi has been making waves in the team's setup, outshining his teammate Gylfi Sigurdsson in the pecking order for the playmaker role.
Published on November 2, 2019, a British tabloid noted that Iwobi's impressive performance has earned him a spot ahead of Sigurdsson.
According to the analysis, Sigurdsson's ability to produce match-winning moments is often overshadowed by his tendency to drift through games unnoticed. In contrast, Iwobi possesses a more imposing and dynamic spark from the middle of the field.
While Iwobi's underlying numbers from the no.10 role are promising, with an average of 24.5 passes per 90 minutes, it remains to be seen whether he can solidify himself as a starter for the foreseeable future.
Everton is currently placed 16th on the English Premier League table, and their upcoming fixture against Tottenham on Sunday will be a crucial test of the team's performance.
