Iroegbunam is only 6’0 but has already shown he can pop up in the crucial moments aerially, after grabbing the assist for James Tarkowski’s chaotic equaliser against Liverpool with a neat headed flick.
Although the midfielder’s profile suits more defensive attributes, Moyes can use Iroegbunam in an attacking sense, and his early contribution proves that.
Being only 21, Iroegbunam has age on his side, with Moyes being able to develop him in seasons to come.
Through his strength on the ball, darting runs into the box, and crunching tackles, the youngster can become the ultimate box-crashing midfielder like Fellaini at Everton.
It seems as though he’s fit and ready for the challenge, and Moyes has already seen a glimpse of how this transformation could work to a tee.
