According to ANAEDOONLINE on Saturday, Sean Dyche, the coach of Everton, has downplayed rumours that Alex Iwobi is dissatisfied at Goodison Park.
According to Turkish media reports, the midfielder is ‘unhappy’ at Goodison Park, and Fenerbahce is interested in signing the Nigerian player before the Turkish transfer market closes on Sunday on a loan move that would last for the remainder of the season.
Iwobi’s adaptable style of play is admired by Jorge Jesus, who wants the club to approve the transfer because he feels Iwobi’s arrival may improve his team’s attack.
“Fenerbahce has stepped in for Iwobi, who plays in Everton, one of the Premier League teams,” a report from A Spor reads.
However, Dyche, speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s trip to Nottingham Forest on Friday, insists that Iwobi doesn’t look unhappy from what he’s seen at Finch Farm.

“Well I’ve seen him today and he seems to be quite happy today (Friday).
“I can only go off what my eyes are telling me and what my feel it telling me. I think it’s unlikely, I’d suggest.”
Iwobi has been a key player for the Toffees this season, having scored one goal in 29 appearances. Since Dyche’s arrival as manager, the Nigeria international has started every game and former boss Frank Lampard previously admitted there had been discussions over a new contract for Iwobi.
The former Arsenal man has just 18 months left on his current deal and Everton fans will be pleased to see their player committing to a new contract.
Iwobi’s new deal will be a ‘three-and-a-half-year agreement’ extending his stay in Merseyside until 2026.
According to reports, the midfielder is set to see his weekly wage increase from £70,000-a-week to £100,000-a-week in the new deal.
