Alex Iwobi has become the toast of Everton fans and they have asked the club to do everything to keep him at Goodison Park.
Iwobi will be out of contract in 2024 and the club is set to open contract talks with the Super Eagles fast rising midfielder.
Iwobi has been among the key lights for manager Frank Lampard this season, having started and finished every minute of the seven matches played so far.
He already has two assists to his name, and it was his clever pass which set up Neal Maupay to score against the Hammers in the 1-0 victory at Goodison Park.
“Get it done Everton, Iwobi has turned into a top class player,” Steve Stanley opened the debate on Facebook while Charles Sedi wrote: “No other player deserves it than him.”
Hoss Hall opined: “Definitely make that happen, Iwobi has been one of our most consistent players awesome,” while Haruna Baba said: “Totally deserved, the guy has been a masterclass for Everton.”
Paul Barnfield called on Everton to increase Iwobi’s pay in the process: “I’d give him a 1k rise per week over five years as the clubs finances are in such a mess,” he said, adding: “Fair play to him, I called him a League One player but he has changed that opinion.”
Peter Papadopoulos wrote: “I believe Iwobi deserves a new contract. The lad has played extremely well this season,” while Louis Rice opined: “He deserves everything, give him whatever he wants, even 10 years.”
