Alex Iwobi joins Everton for £35m


Everton have signed Alex Iwobi from Arsenal for a fee worth £35m.

The Toffees had an initial £30m bid rejected for the 23-year-old winger on Wednesday after resigning their interest in the Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha, before making a dramatic last-hour second bid for the Nigerian international.

The deal was submitted before the 5pm deadline but did not get confirmed until four hours later.
