By Oluwayemi Omolagba

Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi stated that his side Everton will give it all to maintain their Premier League status at the end of the season despite suffering a set back on Sunday as they lost to West Ham United 2-1, BSNSports.com.ng can report.

Iwobi who missed out of the Super Eagles doubleheader playoff against Ghana was the last-gasp hero when Everton beat Newcastle United for three precious points 17 days ago.

“The international break came at the right time and we are ready to go again,” said Iwobi after scoring the goal against Newcastle United.

“We have a lot of finals before the end of the season and have to compete in everyone."

“This is to stay in the best league in the world and we need to fight for our club.

“There are no individuals, we are ready to bounce back and fight as a team.

“Seamus [Coleman] has spoken to us about having the hunger and showing Everton have a lot of fight.

“Everyone is ready to fight and show people what we are capable of,” he added.

On an individual note, Iwobi is ready to seize his increasing opportunities under Lampard, a confirmed fan of the player’s industry and ability.

“Every player thrives on confidence and if the manager has faith and belief in you, it gives you an extra boost to express yourself – and this manager gives me that confidence,” Iwobi concluded.
