Transfer: Iwobi keen to sign new Everton contract

Nigeria midfielder, Alex Iwobi, has admitted he would like to pen a new contract at Premier League club, Everton.

Iwobi’s current contract will expire in 2024 and the Toffees have opened talks with his representatives over a new deal.

Everton reportedly want the 26-year-old to commit to a new five-year contract.

The former Arsenal player has stated that staying at the Goodison Park remain his priority.

“I want to win as many things as I can with this club. That is why I came here, the club was very ambitious and it still is. I’d like to stay,” Iwobi told the ECHO.

Iwobi has been an ever-present in the Premier League as one of only four players – alongside Vitali Mykolenko, James Tarkowski and Demarai Gray to start all 13 games for Everton this season.

He has scored one goal and provided six assists.
