As per others, Everton £30m bid for Alex Iwobi rejected. Made to Arsenal today & knocked back. Expected to return with improved offer but likely need £40m+ to be accepted. 23yo not agitating but would go if deal agreed. #EFC interest recent & is in addition to Wilfied Zaha #CPFC

Everton are known to have put in several bids for Wilfried Zaha which have been rejected, with Crystal Palace demanding £100 million for their star player.

Everton are now seeking alternatives after Palace had rejected their latest offer of £70m plus James McCarthy and a season-long loan deal for Cenk Tosun.
