Born in Lagos Nigeria on May 3rd 1996, Alex Iwobi is a talented youngstar who has been with Arsenal since the age of eight, and has earned international recognition with England at Under-16 level.
Skilful and quick with an eye for goal, Alex can play on either wing or just behind the striker in a three-pronged attack. While capable of scoring goals, Alex has also built up a reputation as a creative forward who can play an incisive pass.
He is the nephew of former Nigeria international Jay-Jay Okocha.
And if he is anything like his uncle then the Gunners have an incredible talent on their hands. Born in Nigeria but having represented England at youth level, Iwobi is the nephew of former Bolton and Nigeria star midfielder, Jay-Jay Okocha.
He was included in Arsenal's squad that faced West Brom in the capital one cup earlier this week but was reduced to watch the Hawthorns action from the bench, but having only turned 17 this year there is plenty of time for Iwobi to make his mark at Arsenal.
