The former Arsenal man says he is getting better every day under the experienced Everton boss.
The Nigerian has played 21 times for the Toffees since his £34 million move from Arsenal in the summer.
(BBC) Iwobi has played just once in the league since Ancelotti’s appointment but he insists that the new manager’s guidance is making him a better player every day.
He said: “I have grown up playing on the left or as a number 10 and he [Ancelotti] has combined the two. It feels natural and I am comfortable in the system, it has been bringing the best from me in training. The way he tells me to come inside is helping my body position, so I receive the ball in a better place.”
“It means my first touch takes me where I should go and I can come infield at the right time to be free and able to turn and play forward. He is helping me a lot and I am benefiting in training. I feel I am getting better every day with him,” he said.
Iwobi was heavily involved under Unai Emery for Arsenal last season. The now 23-year-old played 51 times for the Gunners in all competitions and scored nine times including a stunner in the Europa League final.
The summer move came as a bit of a shock but, now with Ancelotti at the helm, he is an ideal option for the Italian. Iwobi, in the long run, could have a similar impact as Lorenzo Insigne had at Napoli under the Italian.
With the Toffees heading to North London to face Arsenal, Iwobi would love to get a chance to impress against his former side.
A win for Everton will give them a five-point lead over the Gunners which would give them a huge boost in the race for a European place in the league table.
