Everton's Alex Iwobi has been linked with a sensational mid-season switch to Super Lig outfit Fenerbahce with reports in Turkey bizarrely claiming the Nigeria international is "unhappy" at Goodison Park.
The 26-year-old midfielder, who made the move to Merseyside from Arsenal in the summer of 2019, has been touted to join Jorge Jesus' squad on an initial loan deal until the end of the season with the Turkish transfer window open until Sunday, March 5.
Publication A Spor report Iwobi is currently "unhappy" at Goodison Park under manager Sean Dyche, who has been tasked with retaining the Blues' ever-present Premier League status after succeeding former manager Frank Lampard last month.

The former Arsenal midfielder has been one of the Blues' most consistent players despite their Premier League struggles this term and was recently reported to have opened talks over a new deal at Goodison Park after excelling in a revitalised centre-midfield role under Lampard.
However, in the fives game under Dyche so far, Iwobi has been shifted out to the right to try and help Everton end their barren run in attack. Since the appointment of the former Burnley man, the Blues have scored just two Premier League goals.
Speaking to the Press Association in February, Iwobi admitted he is enjoying his football as much as he has at any point in his career despite Everton's fight for Premier League survival.
“Of course it has been tough for the past three years, it wasn’t a great start when I signed, but I’m probably the happiest I’ve been for a while,” said Iwobi. “I am consistently playing a lot of football and especially at Everton, it’s a very good club with a lot of history in the Premier League.
“I am happy, I just hopefully can maintain that and keep going.”
The midfielder's current deal at Goodison Park expires in the summer of 2024.
