I Want To Win Trophies With Everton Iwobi
~1.5 mins read

Alex Iwobi is determined to win titles with Everton, 

Iwobi joined the Toffees last summer from Arsenal on a five-year deal for a fee that could rise to £34m.

The Nigeria international, who has made 17 appearances this term scoring just once with three assists, believes the Toffees have enough quality to compete with the best.

“I think we are good enough to compete in Europe,” Iwobi told his club’s official website.

“I want to win trophies with Everton and be heavily involved in that achievement.

“This Everton side is as good as the Arsenal teams I was in, 100 per cent.

“We have talented, international players, in the team and on the bench. The chemistry in the dressing room is great.

“We are very ambitious and trying to make this a special season and it is exciting when you add talent to the team.”

The 24-year-old also spoke on his recent conversion to wing-back from his attacking role, adding that the move refined his defensive qualities.

“He (Carlo Ancelotti) told me where to be when we don’t have the ball, to prevent the full-back on my side of the pitch bombing on and getting in crosses,” Iwobi added.

“I need to be in certain positions to help us be more solid. Things like needing to come across to cover when the ball is on the other side of the pitch, to always have the right body shape and get in position quicker.

“It is not easy to win a spot, so it makes me work extra hard. I want to be tactically sound defensively and instinctively know the right positions to be in.”

Carlo Ancelotti’s men are currently seventh in the Premier League table with 29 points from 17 games.

Transfer: Pochettino Wants Messi To Join PSG
~1.5 mins read
Mauricio Pochettino insisted that “any big player in the world is always welcome at Paris Saint-Germain” as the new coach of the French giants responded to questions about the possibility of a sensational move for his compatriot Lionel Messi.
The Argentine was asked several times about Messi at his first press conference since being named coach of PSG, with the Barcelona superstar now free to negotiate with other clubs as his contract runs out in June.
“To be honest we are not talking about that, it has been a crazy period for us, trying to adapt to a new club with meetings, training, preparing for the game tomorrow which is the main objective,” said former Tottenham Hotspur coach Pochettino, whose first match in charge of PSG will be on Wednesday at Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1.
“We are going to have time to talk in the future, but any big player in the world is always welcome at Paris Saint-Germain.”
Neymar set tongues wagging last month when he spoke of his desire to team up again with Messi, his old teammate at Barcelona, next season.
If that is to happen, then right now it seems more likely to be in Paris than in Barcelona, with the Catalans struggling financially and in crisis at boardroom level.
Messi, like Pochettino, comes from the Argentine province of Santa Fe. Messi’s boyhood club was Newell’s Old Boys, where Pochettino started his career.
– Alli, Eriksen links –
In the short-term, names linked with moves to PSG in the January window include Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen, both of whom played under Pochettino at Tottenham.
“They are rumours, and the reality is that we have just arrived and are working with the players who are here,” said Pochettino of Eriksen, who is currently at Inter Milan.
“The current reality is complicated and across the world we are all suffering.”
– First game on Wednesday –
Pochettino, 48, was appointed on a deal until the end of next season, with the option of a further year, having spent just over a year out of the game after leaving Spurs.
He is returning to Paris,
