Moyes Backs Iroegbunam’s Progress, Urges Stronger 90-Minute Impact

Moyes says Iroegbunam must improve late-game fitness to seize Gueye’s vacancy during AFCON.

Overview

  • The 22-year-old has started regularly in Gueye’s absence and is vying to keep the Everton midfield role.
  • Moyes praised a strong display against Arsenal but felt Burnley was less convincing, calling for more positive forward play.
  • Iroegbunam acknowledged he is only “showing glimpses” of his ability and said he is working to sustain performances across a full match.
  • His form has trended up since a poor outing against Newcastle, with the Burnley draw including a non-awarded handball penalty that he declined to criticise.
  • Signed from Aston Villa for a fee reported near £9m, he faces another audition at Nottingham Forest with Everton short on midfield options.
