Arsenal turn down Everton’s £30m offer for Iwobi

Arsenal Football Club has turned down a £30 million offer made to it by fellow Premiership side, Everton for the services of winger Alex Iwobi, reports say.

The bid for Iwobi came after the Marco Silva’s side prioritised move for Wilfried Zaha was turned down by Crystal Palace who are demanding £100m for their star player.
