Nigeria winger Alex Iwobi expressed his concern about the prospect of Everton dropping into the Sky Bet Championship.
With the Toffees facing a challenging campaign, their ability to secure their place in the Premier League hinges on a victory against Bournemouth in their final league game of the season on Sunday.
The financial implications of relegation are not lost on Iwobi and his teammates, as it is estimated to cost the club a staggering £100 million.
This substantial figure serves as a stark reminder of the gravity of losing their top-flight status.
Iwobi understands the gravity of the situation and acknowledges the significant disparity between the Premier League and the Championship.
Although he holds no disrespect for the Championship, he firmly believes that Everton should strive to remain in the best league in the world. He emphatically stated, “You don’t want to go in it.”
The Premier League’s reputation as the pinnacle of football drives Iwobi’s determination to keep Everton among the elite.
The possibility of playing in the Championship is not even a consideration for him. He remains resolute in his mindset, focusing on ensuring Everton’s presence in the Premier League for the upcoming season.
“Honestly, we are not thinking about going into the Championship, not in my mind,” he affirmed. “I am just making sure that next season, we are in the Premier League.”
