Everton attacker Iwobi: Maybe I should've handled things better at Arsenal

Alex Iwobi insists he has no regrets quitting Arsenal for Everton.

The Nigeria international spent 15 years with the Gunners, coming up through their junior ranks before making 149 senior appearances for them.

Iwobi made a £28million deadline day switch to Goodison Park in August 2019.

He told Sky Sports: "It's tough going from that at Arsenal. One manager, obviously Unai Emery came, and yeah it was a bit different because there was a lot of different methods, things were getting changed, positions, formations, and I have had to play in numerous positions, so maybe I was a bit unsettled, but I don't really want to say like an argument or problem because at the end of the day, as footballers, we should be able to cope with the situation.

“Maybe I should have handled it better, but whether what happened in the past has made me who I am today, so there's no regrets."
