The Everton star is hoping to have a similar impact to that of his uncle during his time with the Super Eagles
Alex Iwobi has expressed a desire to emulate the efforts of Austin Jay-Jay Okocha with the Nigeria national team by fulfilling his potential.
The Everton star was on parade from start to finish as the Super Eagles silenced Guinea Bissau 2-0 in Wednesday’s Africa Cup of Nations match in Garoua.
Following his impressive displays with the three-time African champions, Iwobi has earned comparisons with his famous uncle – who was part of the country’s squad that ruled Africa in 1994.
The midfielder welcomes such acclaim, and he is keen on achieving similar success with Augustine Eguavoen’s men.
