Everton are currently preparing to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday in the Premier League – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter have claimed that Alex Iwobi should start.

The 23-year-old moved to Goodison Park this summer from Arsenal and he could end up costing the Toffees £34million (BBC).

He’s a left-winger that came off the bench in the league defeat to Aston Villa and was handed his first Everton start in mid-week during the Carabao Cup win over Lincoln City.

The Nigeria internatonal got on the scoresheet in that cup tie and it should boost his confidence.

Manager Marco Silva now has a tough decision in his starting XI against Wolves, with some fans suggesting that Iwobi is handed his first league start since his move to Merseyside.

Iwobi is someone with plenty of Premier League experience from his time with Arsenal, but has moved away from the Emirates Stadium to earn regular first-team minutes.

He’s a skilful wide player with pace and trickery, but Bernard has started the new campaign as the preferred option on the left flank.

Iwobi does have the flexibility to play anywhere across the frontline and it will be intriguing to see if the manager will squeeze him into the team against Wolves.
