•Eagles star dazzles in Toffees’ pre-season camp
By Rasaq Oboirien
Everton will sell Super Eagles attacking midfielder, Alex Iwobi for the right offer this summer, according to Football Insider.
The versatile midfielder was close to penning a new contract with the Toffees during the course of last season but put it on hold as the club battled for relegation.
With just one year remaining on his contract, Everton will entertain a lucrative offer for the Nigerian international.
Meanwhile, Iwobi showed signs of sharpness as he dazzled on the second day of Everton’s pre-season training campaign in Switzerland.
The Nigerian who was part of the 28-man squad that traveled with coach Sean Dyche, finally got to train with his teammates at the French-Swiss Alps.
The day started as Iwobi and his teammates arrived to training via bikes from the team’s hotel just a few minutes’ ride away.
It quickly went back to work for Alex Iwobi and the duo of Idrissa Gana Gueye and Andre Gomes, as they underwent a traditional bleep test on the far side of the pitch.
The trio missed the test that the wider squad did on Friday, hence why they are completing.
Cracking application from all three lads doing the bleep test, as Iwobi was the last-man standing.
The Super Eagles star then took in a 50-metre shuttle runs in the searing heat, before the group was split into three groups now – a blue team, a white team and a yellow team.
Iwobi, who was in the yellow team, did take his scoring boots with him to Switzerland, after he forced Pickford to make an unbelievable save from a venomous left-footed strike.
The Toffees will spend five days in the Alps before playing a friendly against Stade Nyonnais in Nyon on Friday July 14. They will square off against Wigan Athletic, Bolton Wanderers, Stoke City, and Sporting CP.
