Everton manager Sean Dyche has expressed regret over losing Alex Iwobi, who transferred to Fulham in the summer. Iwobi had been a valuable player for Everton with his versatility and work rate, often filling multiple roles in midfield and attack. Dyche acknowledged Iwobi’s impact at the club, noting that his departure created a gap in the squad. While Everton has adjusted, Dyche’s comments reflect how highly Iwobi was regarded and how his absence has been felt both on and off the field.
Ahead of Everton’s clash with West Ham, manager Sean Dyche reflected on Alex Iwobi’s departure, emphasizing that financial considerations often dictate transfers. Dyche expressed that while he was reluctant to let Iwobi go, the decision was ultimately based on the deal offered, which the club deemed necessary to accept.
“If the number’s right, the player gets sold; if the number isn’t right, they don’t,” Dyche stated, acknowledging the club’s approach to player valuations. He noted the need to adapt his strategy to fit the remaining squad and maximize the resources available, even if it means parting with key players under the right conditions.
