Since his breakthrough season in 2015, Iwobi has gone on to make a total of 98 appearances for the Gunners with nine goals to his credit.

Following the departure of Arsene Wegner at the end of last season, it was widely thought the time was up for the 22-year-old at the Emirates. But the recent developments in pre-season has shown that the new manager, Unai Emery has faith in him.

With a new contract on the table and a reported approach by Serie A side, Lazio rebuffed, Iwobi's future is definitely at Arsenal for now.

He goes into the new season rejuvenated after two cameo appearances for Nigeria at the 2018 World cup in Russia and with the renewed hope of establishing himself fully in the first team of Arsenal.
