Alex Iwobi

"I can deal with negativity much better now that I have grown up. When I was younger, I didn’t know how to handle those things. I completely switched off from football; I want my own space and thoughts; I don’t like to talk or have someone telling me what to do."

"In football you're not always going to have highs, I've had plenty of lows before I even came to Everton and I've always been able to overcome them."

"I was having a bit of a difficult season and didn't have the best Afcon experience, so I used that to make me motivated and get myself hungry [again]."
