Everton boss Sean Dyche is confident of holding onto Alex Iwobi.

The Nigeria international has been a key player for the Blues over the past 12 months and only a few weeks ago was considered to be close to signing a new contract that would keep him at Goodison Park.

Iwobi has around 18 months left on his current deal, but a report last week from Aspor claimed that the 26-year-old is "unhappy" and "wants to leave".

Istanbul-based side Fenerbahçe are said to be considering an move for the midfieder, thanks to Turkish football's extended transfer window. But when Dyche was asked about the situation , he was quick to play down any suggestion that Iwobi could be about to move on.

Dyche said: “Well, I've seen him today, and he seems to be quite happy at the moment… it is unlikely, I would suggest."
