Fulham close to signing Iwobi from Everton

Fulham are close to an agreement for Everton midfielder, Alex Iwobi.

According to Sky Sports, Iwobi has agreed personal terms in principal with the Cottagers.

Once final details are sorted, the Super Eagles star is expected to travel to London for a medical.

Iwobi has one year left on his contract and has made it clear he won’t be signing a new deal.

The 26-year-old was close to signing an extension in the early part of last season but changed his mind due to the club’s relegation battle.

The Merseysiders may however consider selling Iwobi instead of losing the player on a free next summer.

Iwobi featured in all of Everton’s 38 Premier League games last season, netting twice and providing seven assists.

Fulham boss Marco Silva was manager of Everton when Iwobi joined from Arsenal in 2019.
