Former Arsenal forward, Alex Iwobi, has revealed the reason he left Arsenal to join Everton.

According to him, he left because he wants to “make a name” for himself and take on more responsibility.

The 23-year-old Super Eagles forward joined Unai Emery’s side in 2015 and he scored 11 goals for the English club.

Speaking about his move to Everton, he told the club website: “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.

“He has given me the confidence I will do well. I am ready for a new challenge and chapter in my life. 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.

“Hopefully I will be able to take on a bit more responsibility and add something to the team as well.”
