Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi is reportedly on Everton’s radar.
According to 90min.com, Everton are interested in signing Iwobi from Premier League rivals Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that the Toffees have had a bid of £30 million for the 23-year-old turned down by the Gunners.
The report has also claimed that Arsenal could sell the Nigeria international – who can operate as a winger or as a forward – if Everton make an offer of £38m.
Former Chelsea and Aston Villa midfielder Townsend has suggested that Iwobi may want to leave Arsenal for regular playing time this summer.
Townsend said about Iwobi on The Debate show on Sky Sports Main Evening on Wednesday night (10:37pm, August 7, 2019): “I think Alex Iwobi is at a point in his career as well now as an individual where he wants to play more often than now.
“And I think seeing how other boys come into Arsenal, he might be thinking, ‘I don’t think if I can handle another year of playing 12 games in the Premier League’.”
Stats
Iwobi made 22 starts and 13 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal last season, scoring three goals and providing six assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
The attacker also made six starts and five substitute appearances for the Gunners during the 2018-19 campaign, scoring two goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
