Super Eagles star midfielder Alex Iwobi is set to get improved pay following his red-hot form for Everton this season, OwoSports.com.ng has gathered.
The Nigerian who earns about £50,000 weekly could be among the top earners at Goodinson Park after Everton opened talks with him to extend his contract.
Recalled Iwobi joined Everton for £35million, paying £28m up front, plus up to £7m in additional fees in 2019.
The winger-turned-central midfielder has been a revelation for the Toffees under manager Frank Lampard.
The ex-Arsenal star is now 26, and the Liverpool Echo states that Everton is hoping to tie him down for the coming years.
His contract runs out in 2024, but Everton wants to avoid losing him for a cut-price fee this coming summer.
They are hoping a salary raise and a long deal will convince him to stay.
Manager Lampard has been credited with getting the best out of Iwobi.
