​Everton winger Iwobi: Ancelotti improving me every day

Everton winger Alex Iwobi says he's getting "better every day" under Carlo Ancelotti.

Ancelotti's arrival at Goodison Park has seen the Toffees become contenders for fourth-place.

And Iwobi has benefitted personally from the Italian's presence.

"I have grown up playing on the left or as a number 10 and he has combined the two [in one position]," Iwobi told evertonfc.com.

"It feels natural and I am comfortable in the system, it has been bringing the best from me in training.

"The way he [Ancelotti] tells me to come inside is helping my body position, so I receive the ball in a better place [on the field].

"It means my first touch takes me where I should go and I can come infield at the right time to be free and able to turn and play forward.

"He is helping me a lot and I am benefiting in training.

"I feel I am getting better every day with him."
