Iwobi joins Yobo and Aiyegbeni in Everton’s hallowed ranks

Alex Iwobi has joined Daniel Amokachi, Joseph Yobo, Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Victor Anichebe as the only Nigerians to have played for Everton.

The wideman was snapped up by the Toffees from Arsenal for a fee of £40 million, as manager Marco Silva strengthened his squad before the commencement of this season.

Iwobi made his much-awaited debut in Friday’s 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa after replacing Gylfi Sigurdsson in the 61st minute.
