What week it’s been for Alex Iwobi. In the past seven days he received his debut for the Gunners in the Champions League at Barcelona, his debut in he Premier League away at Everton, while he scored his first Arsenal senior goal at Goodison Park.
The 19-year-old Nigerian comes from good stock: Jay-Jay Okocha is his uncle.
After watching his blood break his EPL duck, Okocha took to social media to shout out his nephew.
While most fans celebrated Iwobi’s goal, some cynics asked fellow supporters to remember this moment of happiness when Arsene Wenger decides against buying players this summer claiming he has quality kids in his ranks already.
