Iwobi has also made his international debut for Nigeria, while adding another league goal and setting up two more to keep Theo Walcott out of Arsene Wenger's starting XI of late.

"I have always loved Arsenal,” Iwobi told Arsenal Player. “When I was young, I was always waiting to watch the legends of the club play. You could say I have the blood of Arsenal in me!”
