Alex Iwobi to sign improved contract with Everton

Alex Iwobi is set to sign a new contract with Everton.

The Sun says looks set to sign a new £100,000-a-week deal with Everton.

The Nigerian midfielder, 26, is now a key player under Frank Lampard and ready to pen a fresh three-and-a-half-year agreement.

Iwobi 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.

Despite only scoring once this season, he has delivered a string of top performances and is one of the first names on Lampard's team sheet.
