More facts have emerged why Everton released Super Eagles ace Alex Iwobi to Fulham.

Poor financial situation was the major factor in the English Premier League side selling Nigeria international Alex Iwobi during the last summer transfer window.

The midfielder made a surprise move from Everton to Fulham on a five-year deal worth €22m.

Iwobi made 123 Premier League appearances for Everton in four seasons with the club, scoring six times. He was named Players’ Player of The Season and was one of the Toffees’ best players as Everton narrowly avoided relegation for two consecutive seasons.

His move, however, came as a big shock on the transfer deadline day.
