You probably didn’t see this coming, but former Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi will join Fulham for a fee of £22 million from Everton.

Iwobi is in London to complete the move after a strong season for the Toffees last season. The Nigerian is currently undergoing medical treatment at Fulham and will join on a permanent basis. It’s an interesting development considering he has been injured since November with a hamstring problem.

It’s a busy day for Fulham, with the club saying goodbye to Joao Palhinha, who is currently on his way to Bayern Munich. Pierre Emile Hojberg is the shortlisted candidate to replace him, as is Arsenal’s Albert Sambi Lokonga.
