Everton has agreed to sell Alex Iwobi to Fulham.
Over the last four seasons, the versatile player has endured a rollercoaster ride on Merseyside.
Everton have sold Alex Iwobi to Fulham for an unknown amount, which was earlier reported to be up to £22 million including add-ons.
The player is in the final year of his five-year contract with the Toffees and appears to have declined an extension or new agreement.
The Nigeria international struggled with the Toffees, failing to live up to his £30 million transfer fee in terms of goals and assists, but he remained one of the hardest working and most creative players in royal blue.
Rafa Benitez and supporters alike appeared to have written him off, but he pushed his way back into contention under Frank Lampard with his workrate and adaptability, lining up all over the pitch.
Iwobi never lived up to the lofty expectations he set while at Arsenal, and he was a late deadline day addition in 2019, yet he leaves the club with a tidy profit on his amortized value.
He appeared in 140 games for the Blues in all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing sixteen assists.
The 27-year-old remains a divisive figure among fans, with some praising his intangibles and advanced stats while others pointing to the stat sheet.
We wish Iwobi the best of luck in his future endeavors and appreciate him for some of his critical contributions to ensuring our Premier League status.
