Iwobi wins Everton’s Players’ Player of the Season award

Super Eagles player, Alex Iwobi has won Everton’s Players’ Player of the Season award.

Iwobi, who played in different positions for the Toffees over the course of the campaign, was recognized by his teammates following an influential campaign.

He made 41 appearances in all competitions this season, including 3,382 minutes in every one of the 38 league games the Blues played.

Iwobi’s 11 goal contributions, 2 goals, and 9 assists, was the highest in the team, and his indefatigable running saw him used in a variety of different roles first by Frank Lampard and then by Sean Dyche.

England’s goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford on the other hand won the Men’s Player of the Season award.

Fans thanked him for his invaluable contributions in goal, including some remarkable saves in the last few weeks of the season that ensured the Toffees would stave off relegation worries and survive in the Premier League after a challenging year.

His save during the Merseyside Derby off Darwin Nunez, tipping the dipping shot onto the top of the bar and safety was considered one of the best saves made during the campaign and nominated for the Premier League Save of the Season Award.

Pickford received 42% of the fan vote and this is his third Player of the Season award, having first won it in 2017/18. In the absence of Coleman, the 29-year-old was also regularly Everton’s stand-in captain during games.

Dwight McNeil on the other hand won the Men’s Young Player of the Season award. The 23-year-old garnered nearly 73% of the fan vote to win the award. McNeil was signed from Burnley last summer and took some time establishing himself, but would go on to lead the Blues in scoring with his seven league goals going a long way toward ensuring Premier League survival for the Blues.

The hardworking wide player even slotted in as left back towards the end of the season to cover for injury issues.
