Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi has signed a new long-term contract with Premier League giants Arsenal.

Iwobi, 22, has been an important squad player since making his debut in 2015 and has been rewarded with a new deal, reportedly until 2023.

He has scored nine goals in 98 appearances for the Gunners.

Iwobi becomes the third Arsenal player to sign a new contract this summer after Calum Chambers and Granit Xhaka.

On his new deal, the Arsenal Academy graduate said: “From young, it has always been my dream to represent Arsenal.”

“It feels so special. The first kit I had was of Arsenal and long may I continue to represent them.” He stated.

Manager Unai Emery added: “I’m very pleased Alex has signed a new contract.”

“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.” The former Sevilla and PSG boss concluded.
