Alex Iwobi: Mixed feelings for Nigeria midfielder after Everton debut

Alex Iwobi has expressed his feelings after making his debut for Everton in their 2-0 loss to Aston Villa in a Premier League game on Friday.

The Nigeria international left Arsenal for the Merseyside club on a five-year deal in a reported fee of £40 million on transfer deadline day.

After making the bench in the Toffees’ 1-0 victory over Watford last weekend, the 23-year-old was handed his first appearance for the Goodison Park outfit, replacing Gylfi Sigurdsson in the 61st minute.

Iwobi was impressive in the encounter and could have scored in his first outing for Everton had the woodwork not denied him.
