The former Arsenal star is expected to sign for Fulham before the window shuts on deadline day.

Iwobi has made two appearances for Sean Dyche’s side this season, missing their third Premier League game and Carabao Cup fixture due to a hamstring injury.

talkSPORT understands Everton are willing to sell Iwobi, who is into the final year of his contract.

He’s made 140 appearances for the Toffees, scoring nine goals and providing 15 assists in that time.

But despite his considerable contribution to Dyche’s side, the arrivals of Arnaut Danjuma and Jack Harrison appear to have opened the door to an exit.

Fulham are keen to bolster their attack following the £46million departure of striker Aleksandar Mitrovic to Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal this summer.

Meanwhile, Bayern are hotly pursuing the west London club’s star, defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha.

talkSPORT understands Fulham have asked for £80m for the Portuguese international before the close of the window amid an approach from the German champions.
