Arsenal Confirm Alex Iwobi Has Signed New Long-Term Contract

Alex Iwobi extends his stay amid talk of interest from Lazio…

 

Alex Iwobi has signed a new long-term contract despite recent reports suggesting that a move to Serie A side Lazio was on the cards, the club has confirmed.

Iwobi, who joined us aged nine as a budding academy product, has risen through the ranks and made arguably the toughest step in football by graduating to the first-team.

His progress has been scrutisinsed since his impressive first season and some fans have even called for him to be sold considering his stagnation.

Following Arsene Wenger’s departure, Iwobi may have been one of the players fearing for his future as Unai Emery rang the changes throughout he summer.

However, after our friendly against Chelsea a fortnight ago, Emery claimed that Iwobi was close to agreeing to a new deal and that he was very much part of his plans.

Upon the announcement, the boss said: “I’m very pleased Alex has signed a new contract with us. 

“He is a great example of a player who can succeed from the Academy through hard work and I look forward to working with him and our other talented young players in the squad.”

For Iwobi, he’s continuing to live the dream: “It’s always been my childhood dream to represent Arsenal, from young.

“To get an extended contract is an amazing feeling and I hope I’m doing the Arsenal family proud, as well as my family.”

Iwobi certainly has work to do if he’s to become the player he threatened to be when he first broke into the side, and he now has a coaching staff intent on improving players.

The excuses are done, it’s now time to work.
