The Super Eagles star has struggled to find his feet under previous manager, Marco Silva as well as caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson.
Meanwhile, the Toffees have appointed Carlo Ancelotti as their manager during the second half of the season.
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent has urged Everton to replace Alex Iwbo ahead of the next season.
The new 2020-21 Premier League season will resume on September 12.
Bent believes that Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha would be a perfect replacement for Alex Iwobi.
“I think he’s definitely a signing that they need. Whether he takes them to the next level I’m not quite sure yet. His stats last season would suggest probably not, they weren’t great,” Bent told Football Insider when asked of Zaha.
“I mean four assists and five goals for someone of his quality isn’t great and it doesn’t really inspire you with confidence where you start thinking: ‘We’ve got him, we’ve got the guy that’s going to drag this team to the verge of Champions League football.’
Recall that The Toffees signed Iwobi for £34 million last season.
The former Sunderland forward added: “He’s definitely a signing that they need because they need people with quality. For me, Alex Iwobi doesn’t do it for me.
“His end product’s not good enough, he doesn’t score enough goals, doesn’t create enough goals so he’s not really doing anything."
The former Arsenal forward only scored two goals and provided one assist in 25 appearances during his debut campaign with the club. While Wilfred Zaha scored four goals and providing three assists in 38 league appearances for Palace.
“For me, if Zaha can get himself down there and play on the left-hand side with Richarlison, [Dominic] Calvert-Lewin, [Andre] Gomes, I really like what they’re doing down there. If I’m Everton, I go for that one 100 per cent, ” Bent concluded.
