Super Eagles midfielder, Alexander Iwobi received birthday wishes from his club Everton, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), family, and well wishes as the footballer turned 26 on Tuesday, May 3.
Everton in addition to the birthday greeting also put out a quiz on their official website to encourage fans of the club to get to know Iwobi better.
The Toffees posted Iwobi’s picture in their jersey on their social media page and captioned it, “Happy Birthday, @alexiwobi! 🎁”
The former Arsenal man also took to social media to mark his birthday with a post on his official Instagram account, where he revealed that he celebrated his special day with family and friends.

Iwobi, who is the nephew of Nigerian football legend Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, shared the photos of the celebrations with his followers and captioned them, “‘Ain’t Nothing Better Than Family, Appreciate The Love.”.
In one of the pictures posted, Iwobi was seen smiling with his parents, sister, and loved one as he was presented with a cake.
There were, however, no responses to the photos posted by Iwobi as his comment section has been locked since he received a red card against The Carthage Eagles of Tunisia at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon in January.
Alex Iwobi was deployed as a right-back by Frank Lampard in Everton’s much-needed narrow win over West London club Chelsea at Goodison Park last weekend.
He is expected to return to action for his club against Europa League contender Leicester City in a Premier League fixture scheduled for King Power Stadium on Sunday, May 8.
