Iwobi set for Fulham but Palhinha heading to Bayern

Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi is set for a medical at Fulham after a deal which could reach £22m was agreed.

Meanwhile, Joao Palhinha has been given permission to travel to Germany by the Cottagers, as talks continue over a deal with Bayern Munich.

The fee is expected to be about £65m, with Fulham also seeking a replacement.

Palhinha is keen to play Champions League football and is now awaiting confirmation of an agreement between the two clubs before taking a medical.

The Portugal midfielder would become the second significant departure from Craven Cottage this summer, following Aleksandar Mitrovic’s move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

Iwobi has played in two of Everton’s three Premier League games this season, but missed Saturday’s home defeat to Wolves with injury. The Toffees are yet to pick up a single point so far.

The 27-year-old Nigeria midfielder joined Everton from Arsenal in the summer of 2019 and has made 123 league appearances, scoring six times.
