Despite making a huge impression upon making a first-team breakthrough during the 2015/2016 season, Alex Iwobi’s progress has somewhat stalled thus dividing the opinion of Arsenal supporters with a number of inconsistent displays.
However, he has managed to catch the eye of new head coach Unai Emery who had his say on the matter offering the Nigerian Messi a fresh five year-contract.
Speaking of the supporters, many have had plenty to say on social media about Iwobi committing his future to the club.
