Frank Leboeuf's reaction about Alex Iwobi

“I have to say I have to give credit to Everton and Iwobi.
“What I saw from Iwobi in the middle of the park was absolutely exceptional. That guy was played in another position but he was still outstanding and exceptional with the other three guys – (Demarai) Gray, (Anthony) Gordon and Maupay in front of him.
“They gave a hard time to Liverpool’s three defenders. It was a hard game for Liverpool because they fought so hard to stay in the game.”

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Nigerian international Calvin Bassey drew plaudits from Dutch legend Ronald de Boer who said Ajax cannot do without him.

The Eredivisie outfit reached an agreement to sign Nigerian international in a deal worth €27million just before the close of the summer transfer window.

It was further gathered that the contract entails a €22million flat fee with €5m add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause of any future sale, which is big money for a £230,000 outlay in 2020.
