Everton accept Fulham's N21.6b bid for Iwobi, Hale End product offered 5-year contract 

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the transfer of Arsenal's Hale End Academy product Alex Iwobi to Fulham is imminent.

Fulham and Everton have reached a club-to-club agreement for the transfer of the Nigeria international, who is now discussing personal terms with the Cottagers ahead of his trip to London. 

Iwobi is keen on moving to Craven Cottage, hence, the player agreeing personal terms should not be an issue. 

The Toffees have agreed to end their association with the former Arsenal winger a year before the expiration of his contract in exchange for 22 million pounds (approximately N21.6 billion in Nigerian currency). 

Fulham have offered Iwobi a five-year contract that will keep him in the English capital until June 30, 2028.

The 27-year-old was the most expensive Nigerian player sold when he joined Everton for a fee of £35m in 2019 before the transfer record was broken by Victor Osimhen following the striker's move to Napoli the following season. 

Iwobi has been a key player at Everton over the last few seasons but the Goodison Park outfit have decided to trade the versatile midfielder rather than lose him for nothing next summer after failing to make any headway in contract talks that dragged on for months. 

In 140 appearances for Everton, he scored nine goals and registered sixteen assists.
