Everton midfielder Iwobi: Full Dyche preseason can make difference

Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi has spoken about the importance of having a full preseason with Sean Dyche.

The Toffees head coach is running the rule over his squad ahead of the new season.

Having kept the club in the Premier League last season, Dyche now wants to improve on that achievement.

"It's been hard, it's been hot, it's been humid - but those conditions will help us for the season," Iwobi told the club website.

"It's been good to be back amongst team-mates as well. Good vibes, good banter. I've missed it.

"The chemistry has been very good here and it's nice to be back. The spirit is high amongst us.

"Obviously, as a team we don't want to be where we were last year. We want to improve and with the players we have, with the quality we have, we should be able to do that," Iwobi added.

"It's a clean slate and a fresh start and we're working hard for it. Not just on the pitch but off the pitch we've been bonding well together."
