Alex Iwobi, the Nigerian international, has been a regular presence in Everton's starting lineup during their pre-season matches, gearing up for the 2023/24 Premier League season. It will mark his fifth season at the Merseyside club since his transfer from Arsenal in 2019.
Last season, Everton narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 17th, just one place above the relegation zone. Iwobi was a key player for the team, featuring in all 41 games, scoring two goals, and providing nine assists.
After a well-deserved rest over the summer, he is eager to perform both for his club and his national team, the Super Eagles of Nigeria, in their final game of the Africa Cup of Nations qualification against Sao Tome and Principe.
Despite their struggles last season, Everton is expected to improve significantly in the upcoming campaign.
They are considered 4.0 in online sports betting for relegation, but the odds for a top-half finish are more favorable at 4.33. A top-six finish would secure European football for the club and is priced at 11.0.
Under the guidance of manager Sean Dyche, who took over in January and helped them avoid relegation, Everton has been reinforcing their squad with experienced players like Ashley Young, who arrived from Aston Villa with an impressive Premier League track record.
With a blend of talent and experience in their ranks, Everton is looking forward to a stronger performance in the Premier League and the potential to secure European football for the first time since 2014.
Fans and pundits will be closely monitoring Iwobi's contributions, hoping he can play a pivotal role in driving the Toffees to success in the new season.
