He arrived on deadline day, but Super Eagles star, Alex Iwobi is already making an impression at Everton and has been nominated for an award.
The Nigerian international joined the Toffees from Arsenal for 40m pounds on deadline day and has settled in well at the club.
After missing the club’s first two Premier League games, the 23-year-old has now gotten off to a good start at the Goodison Park.
He scored his first goal on his first start for the club in a 4-2 League Cup win over Lincoln FC last Wednesday. He made it two in as many games when he scored Everton’s second in their Premier League win over Wolves last Sunday.
As a reward for his performances, Iwobi’s goal against The lmps has now been nominated for Everton’s August goal of the month. It was part of a four-man shortlist that was revealed on Wednesday.

£40m transfer? That’s way off the mark. Iwobi cost Everton £28m, withthe possibility of the fee rising to £35m if certain criteria are met.
