Alex Iwobi “wants more money” from Everton as Premier League clubs queue up to take advantage of his contract stalemate.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has claimed that Iwobi could upgrade if he decides to reject Everton’s contract offer.
On 17 March, Football Insider revealed that the midfielder had been offered a new deal by the Toffees amid interest from Premier League and European clubs.
Iwobi was an important part of the Everton side last campaign and had started all 38 of their top flight games, scoring twice and providing eight assists in those outings as the Toffees confirmed their league status.
With the Nigerian yet to sign a new contract, Football Insider exclusively revealed on Tuesday (13 July) that Everton will have to receive a very good offer if they are to consider selling Alex Iwobi this summer.
With a potential move on the cards, Agbonlahor believes that Iwobi has shown that he has enough to play for a top club.
“When he was needed, he stood up for Everton,” He told Football Insider.
“He put in good performances, and has great energy with the ball and maybe his finishing could be a bit better.
“He’s a top player, and possibly for his new contract he wants more money.
“There will be clubs in the Premier League that will definitely want him, as he does not send the world alight but he’s reliable.”
