Arsenal have agreed to sell Alex Iwobi to Everton, talkSPORT understands.

The transfer fee could potentially reach £40million and brings an end to his long association with the club.

Everton agree £34m deal for Arsenal's Iwobi

Iwobi joined the club's academy when he was nine and broke into the first team under Arsene Wenger in 2015. He signed a new long term contract last summer, but both player and club feel it is best to part company.

The 23-year-old made 35 Premier League appearances last season, but faced the difficult task of cementing a spot in Unai Emery's first-team this season due to the arrivals of Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid and Nicolas Pepe from Lille.

Arsenal had initially rejected a £30m approach from Everton, but have accepted an improved offer for the Nigeria international, with the Toffees missing out on Wilfried Zaha.
