Everton sweating as Iwobi is yet to sign new four years deal

 Everton are sitting on tenterhooks over Alex Iwobi’s future at Goodison Park. The club has tabled a four-year contract extension for the 27-year-old midfielder whose current contract is up in 12 months. The ball is squarely in Iwobi’s court, with the player having to make a decisive call about his tenure with the Premier League side.

Iwobi demonstrated his merit in the last season, proving to be an invaluable asset for the Toffees. His robust performance, including two goals and eight assists, solidified him as a reliable component in all of Everton’s top-flight games. The player’s contribution went a long way in helping the team maintain their Premier League status.

Just as Iwobi played a pivotal role for Everton, Sean Dyche’s team staved off relegation on the season’s final day. The winning margin against Bournemouth was a slim 1-0, a victory that kept the side in the Premier League by a whisker — a mere two points.

Back in the summer of 2019, Everton put down a substantial £28 million to secure Iwobi from Arsenal. Additional add-ons since his move has amounted to another £7 million. During his stint on Merseyside, Iwobi has donned the Everton jersey in 138 games, boasting a record of nine goals and 16 assists.

The club, it seems, will entertain thoughts of parting ways with Iwobi only if they receive an offer they can’t refuse. As the transfer window enters its last seven weeks, Iwobi’s Everton future remains an intriguing saga to follow.
