Shocking: Iwobi wants world-class Barca forward at Emirates!

Arsenal young winger Alex Iwobi wants Barcelona to star forward Neymar at the Emirates. The 20-year old was asked to choose a player other than Messi and Ronaldo if Arsenal were to sign a player and the young Nigerian has picked out Neymar.

Iwobi has continued his admiration for Neymar as the Brazilian has recently won Olympic gold with the national team and have joined the Barca squad late after an extended break.

However, the tight schedule did not let down the level of football he plays as he had already scored four goals in just six games and have notched up five assists in two Champions League games so far.

Iwobi told Copa90: “[Who should Arsenal sign?] Neymar, he’s entertaining. But then again, if we bring in Neymar, that’s my position gone!

“My best moment was definitely starting against Barcelona, that was mad. It was such an experience. I’m young, it was my first proper start. I wasn’t even nervous, just excited to play.

“Obviously it’s a nice feeling [Arsene Wenger trusts me], it gives you an extra confidence boost. To play in a game of such magnitude, I was buzzing. The fact that I kept playing a couple of games afterwards showed that he had faith in me.

“Growing up I got advice with football, but the older I get [Okocha’s] probably helped off the pitch as well.

“As football’s such a short career, he’s trying to make sure that I’m going to end up being like him, where he’s comfy when he’s retired. I want to be as good as him, or even better than him.”

Iwobi has become an integral part of Arsenal squad as he has become an automatic starter in the team. His creativeness in the left wing has helped Wenger to switch Sanchez to a more central role as Gunners are in unbelievable form after a slow start to the season.
