Alex Iwobi, a midfielder for the Super Eagles, is expected to get a new deal as compensation for his strong start to the season at Everton.
According to rumors, Iwobi new contract will increase his weekly pay from £70,000 to $100,000.
When current Everton head coach Frank Lampard hired the 26-year-old Nigerian and turned him to a center-midfielder, the player’s performance improved after he arrived.

Iwobi’s new contract is a “three-and-a-half-year pact,” which will keep him in Merseyside through 2026.
