Everton on its official website on Friday announced Alex Iwobi will wear the No. 17 jersey as he joins the club.

Iwobi joined Everton from Arsenal for £34m on Thursday on a five-year deal with the move seeing him become the most expensive Nigerian player in history.

“New signing Alex Iwobi will wear number 17, the same number he wore at Arsenal, while Richarlison moves to seven, Michael Keane to five and Dominic Calvert-Lewin to number nine,” Everton said on its website.
