Nigerian star Alex Iwobi could be sold by Everton FC according to the club’s manager Sean Dyche.

The dreadlocked attacking midfielder has been linked with Fulham in the last few days. Fulham manager Marco Silva worked with Iwobi at Everton in 2019.

Dyche admitted that the 27-year-old could leave Toffees before the end of the transfer window due to his contractual situation.

“There’s a few circling a few of our players, [Iwobi’s] one of them,” Dyche said on Liverpool Echo.

“The obvious thing that I think has been apparent, though I had to spell it out last week, the club has to look at the business side of it; a player with a year left [on his contract].”

Iwoi was a key player in Dyche’s side last season as the former Arsenal FC star featured in all of Everton’s 38 Premier League matches – scoring twice in the process.

He has played two of the Toffees’ three Premier League games this term.
