Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi is set to sign a new £100,000-a-week deal with Everton, according to the Sun.

Iwobi is now a key player under Frank Lampard and ready to pen a fresh three-and-a-half-year agreement.

The 26-year-old has just 18 months of his current £70,000-a-week contract left and the new one will take him to 2026.

A £38million signing from Arsenal in 2019, Iwobi was proving to be a flop at Goodison Park but he has completely turned around his fortunes.

“It’s a disappointing injury.”
