Iwobi needs confidence to play in wingback position for Everton – Ancelotti

The Toffees boss has signaled the Nigeria international could continue playing as a fullback in the absence of some of his defenders due to injury

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti believes Alex Iwobi needs more confidence to play in the wingback position for Everton.

The 24-year-old delivered an impressive performance for the Toffees in the right-back position against Fulham last weekend.

Ancelotti has praised the impact of the Nigeria international in the encounter and believes he can be an option for injured Lucas Digne when they take on Leeds United on Saturday evening.
