Super Eagles midfielder,  Alex Iwobi is reportedly set to be rewarded for his impressive start to the season at Everton with a new contract.

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.

The Nigerian who had struggled at the start of his Everton career improved his performance upon the arrival of current head coach Frank Lampard, who converted the 26-year-old to a center-midfielder.
