Alex Iwobi has declared that Everton players will give their all to maintain their Premier League status as they face a crucial final match of the season against Bournemouth at Goodison Park.
The Toffees find themselves in a precarious position, knowing that only a win will guarantee their stay in the top-flight. After barely surviving relegation last season, another brush with demotion could prove catastrophic for the club given their challenging financial situation.
Financial analysts estimate Everton could lose approximately £100 million if relegated from the Premier League, adding significant pressure to their final match performance.
Iwobi Emphasizes Premier League Importance
The Nigerian international expressed unwavering determination when discussing the team's situation. "Yeah, there is a massive gulf, and no disrespect to the Championship, but you don't want to go in it," Iwobi told reporters.
"Everyone sees the Premier League as the best league in the world, and that's where we want to stay. Honestly, we are not thinking about going into the Championship, not in my mind, I am just making sure next season we are in the Premier League."
Everton's situation mirrors their struggles from the previous campaign, where they also fought until the final matches to secure their top-flight status. The club's loyal fanbase will be hoping for a positive result against Bournemouth to avoid the devastating consequences of relegation.
For Iwobi and his teammates, the message is clear – nothing less than victory will suffice as they battle to preserve their Premier League status and the club's financial stability.
