Everton Want Iwobi for £30 million

By Daily Sports on August 8, 2019

Everton have launched a bid to sign Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

The Toffees have been chasing Wilfried Zaha in recent weeks but have seen at least two bids knocked back by Crystal Palace for the Ivory Coast international.

And with boss Marco Silva keen to add another winger to his squad, he has turned his attentions to Iwobi, with Everton having now made their first move to land the 23-year-old.

The Goodison Park outfit have tabled an opening offer – believed to total around £30 million ($36m), including add-ons – for the Gunners’ academy graduate. Arsenal have rejected the bid, however.

Everton must now decide whether to increase their offer for a player who made 51 appearances last season in all competitions for Unai Emery’s side, scoring six goals.

Iwobi was a key player for Emery during his first campaign in charge at the Emirates, with no player in the squad featuring in more games than the young forward.

But he is not a guaranteed starter and the arrival of Nicolas Pepe from Lille and the return of Reiss Nelson following his loan spell with Hoffenheim, could see his opportunities limited further.

Speaking during the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this summer, where he helped Nigeria to a third-placed finish, Iwobi admitted that he would have to consider leaving his boyhood club if he believed he might struggle to get regular playing time.

“I am not one to chicken out,” he said. “I have had it all over the years, being told I’m not good enough. (Goal)
