Alex Iwobi: Super Eagles Midfielder Valued At £30M More Expensive Than Brighton

Nigerian international Alex Iwobi who is worth £35million is said to be more expensive than the Starting XI of English Premier League side Brighton.

 The Everton midfielder is said to cost £9million more than the entire Brighton squad that humbled the Toffees at Goodison Park on Tuesday night. 

Frank Lampard's team lost 4-1 at Goodison Park as the Chelsea legend is now under intense pressure to perform, get the results, or he gets the boot. 

One of the players who could not deliver well was Iwobi, who is being offered an improved contract extension as negotiations are underway. 

The Super Eagles star has improved since Lampard was appointed manager of the club, and he has been able to attract interest from other teams. 

Punch reports that the entire Brighton side that rocked up north to batter the Toffees 4-1 in their own backyard on Tuesday night cost a total of £26m. 

And of that total, a large chunk of that is taken up by summer signing Pervis Estupinan – who cost the south-coast side £15m from Villarreal and replaced Marc Cucurella, sold for £62m to Chelsea.
