David Kabiyesi with Agency Report
Aston Villa legend, Gabriel Agbonlahor has told Everton to sell off Alx Iwobi and cash in on him if they really want to escape relegation next season.
Agbonlahor praise Iwobi for his great contribution to Everton’s survival describing the midfielder as a player that can be relied on when needed.
But he urged the club to offload him and use the money realised to buy a better player ahead of next season.
The midfielder joined the Toffees in 2019 from Arsenal for £35 million and has established himself as an influential player for the club in recent seasons.
The 27-year-old played a vital role in preserving Everton’s status in the Premier League, playing all 38 games, registering 2 goals and eight assists.
“I think they should be open to selling Iwobi. He’s done ok. He’s been there when Everton needed someone,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider.
“He’s stood up and shown he can be a decent player. But if it gives them money to get a replacement, I’d sell him on.
“It would boost that transfer budget even more and allow them to move on to better targets and get clear of that relegation zone next season.”
The Super Eagles midfielder has played in several roles since moving to Goodison Park. He has made 138 appearances and has notched 9 goals and 16 assists.
