Fulham Nears Deal with Everton for Alex Iwobi

Fulham is on the verge of finalizing a deal with Everton as the summer transfer deadline draws near.

Standard Sport has learned that there is a strong belief that Alex Iwobi, the former Arsenal player, will complete the move, with an anticipated transfer fee in the vicinity of £20 million.

A Busy Transfer Window for Fulham

This summer has been a bustling one for Fulham, marked by the departure of Aleksandar Mitrovic and eight other players.

In response, the club has been proactive in the transfer market, securing the signings of Raul Jimenez, Adama Traore, Calvin Bassey, Timothy Castagne, and goalkeeper Steven Benda.

Assuming there are no unexpected obstacles, Iwobi will join this list as Marco Silva’s latest summer addition.

Iwobi’s Return to London

Alex Iwobi is set to return to London after spending four years away, during which time he progressed through Arsenal’s academy.

The 27-year-old Nigerian international faced Fulham in Everton’s opening-day defeat at Goodison Park and has made two appearances for the Toffees in the current season.

His preferred position is on the left wing, and Iwobi is expected to provide valuable competition for attacking spots at Fulham.

Iwobi’s Everton Career

During his tenure at Everton, Alex Iwobi has contributed nine goals across 140 appearances, making him a notable addition to Fulham’s squad.
