Everton’s £30m bid for Arsenal star Alex Iwobi was rejected by the North London club just a day before the summer transfer window for the 2019-20 football season drawing to an end in the English Premier League (EPL). Everton, whose pursuit for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha looks to have broken down, tried compensating the failure to bring Zaha with the signing of Iwobi. But their £30m bid for the Nigeria international was rejected by Arsenal. The clubs fans have, however, urged the Gunners to sell Iwobi in order to fund the purchase of Zaha. Football Transfer News: From Paulo Dybala to Bruno Fernandes, Players Manchester United Can Still Sign.

Therefore with just one day remaining for the transfer deadline, Everton coach Marcos Silva is determined to fill up the left-winger position in his team. Real Madrid Excludes Gareth Bale for Friendly Match Against Red Bull Salzburg.

Everton were willing to let James McCarthy and Cenk Tosun go the opposite way along with a £70m cash upfront for Zaha. But Palace held on to their £100m valuation for the Ivorian star.
