Alex Iwobi not interested in moving to Turkey

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has refuted claims that he’s interested in a switch to Turkish Super Lig.*

Iwobi is nearing the end of his contract at Everton, although the club is keen on keeping at the Goodison Park much longer and has opened talks for a new deal.

While negotiation still on going between both parties, reports from that Turkey claimed the former Arsenal player could be interested in joining Fenerbahce.

Iwobi however denied any link between him and the Turkish Super Lig giants.

“Nope [I didn’t hear anything],” he said

“First, I posted on Instagram and just saw bare [a lot] of comments and I was thinking, ‘What?’.

“I didn’t know anything about it. Then I’m getting mentioned on Twitter by my boys that I might be going to Turkey, but I was like no man. The only way I’m going to Turkey is for my teeth or my hairline [laughs].

“No, I was a bit rattled. It’s always nice to get interest from another team but nah, just focus on football.”

Iwobi has a year left on contract with Everton and could pen an extension sooner.
