Alex Iwobi is 'set for huge pay rise' after an impressive start to the season for Everton

Alex Iwobi is set to be rewarded for his impressive start to the season at Everton with a new contract which would see the player's wage rocket.

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.
