West Ham linked with shock move to sign Alex Iwobi from Everton

Football Transfers reckon that Iwobi has been told that he can leave Goodison Park this summer, and the Hammers have ‘registered an interest’ in signing him.

An FA Cup winner during his time with Arsenal, the midfielder has great experience of playing at the very highest level.

He bagged two goals and eight assists in 38 Premier League games for the Toffees last term (Transfermarkt).

West Ham target Alex Iwobi possesses real creativity and exceptional technical ability.

The thought of him playing alongside Lucas Paqueta in central midfield for the Hammers, in front of a top-class defensive midfielder is actually a very exciting one.

Let’s hope that Moyes manages to get this one done this summer.
