Super Eagles of Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi has become a very important player for the English Premier League club Everton.

Iwobi is currently in the form of his life and has risen from the fringes to become a key clog in the wheels at Goodison Park.

Soccernet reports that Everton are initiating a contract extension for the Nigerian international who had struggled under previous bosses, including Marco Silva, Rafa Benitez, and Carlo Ancelotti.

Iwobi was criticised by pundits and fans as many tagged him as a flop since he left Arsenal and moved to Everton in the summer of 2019.

However, the 26-year-old has become someone totally different since Frank Lampard took charge of the Toffees as there is a complete turnaround in fortunes for the Super Eagles star.

He was credited for their home win over West Ham following his sensational assist that allowed Neil Marpau to score the only game goal in their first win of the season.

Although he has a contract with the club until 2024, Everton are not taking any chances, with calls beginning to grow for the Arsenal youth academy product to return to the Gunners.
