Alex Iwobi will improve at a more rapid rate at Everton than he would have had he stayed at Arsenal, according to former Toffees centre-back Joseph Yobo.

The 23-year-old joined Marco Silva’s men in a deal worth £40 million on transfer deadline day, having made 148 appearances for his boyhood club since making his Gunners debut in 2015.

Yobo believes that the transfer was the right move for his compatriot, and is confident that the Super Eagles international will be an asset for his new club.
