Proper Football with Alex Iwobi

Everton and Nigeria star Alex Iwobi talks to the guys about playing football with his mates in disguise, silencing the doubters and working with Wenger, Emery and Duncan Ferguson.

Everton and Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi is this week's guest on the pod, and you can listen to it first on 大象传媒 Sounds.

Alex reveals how he overcame the doubters, including some of his teachers, to forge a successful football career. He also discusses why he's an advocate for mental health and whether Everton can improve their results between now and the end of the season.

He also recalls when Arsene Wenger announced he was leaving Arsenal, being managed by a fired-up Duncan Ferguson and why he sometimes plays football with his mates in disguise.

Please note the interview with Alex was recorded in December 2022.
