Iwobi to sign new N53.6m per week contract with Everton

Talented Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi is set to be among the top 10 Super Eagles earners as he is set to sign a new N53.6million-a-week contract with Everton, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Sun says the Nigerian looks set to sign a new £100,000-a-week (worth N53,610,192.35 (NGN) Fifty-Three Million Six Hundred Ten Thousand One Hundred Ninety-Two Naira 35 Kobo) with Everton.

Iwobi, 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.
