The Nigerian starlet is in discussions to sign
fresh terms with the Gunners after making
his first-team breakthrough this season
Arsenal are in talks to extend the contract of
attacker Alex Iwobi, manager Arsene Wenger
has confirmed.
The 19-year-old made his debut last October
and has gone on to make 15 appearances in
all competitions as well as breaking into the
Nigeria squad at international level.
Iwobi has scored in Arsenal's last two
matches against Everton and Watford.
And Wenger is keen to agree fresh terms with
the youngster, even though a long-term
contract was signed only as recently as
October.
"We are discussing it [a new contract] at the
moment to extend him," Wenger told
reporters ahead of the Gunners' match at
West Ham on Saturday.
"I think that he is a real Arsenal person, he
has been here since he was eight. He has
three years left at the end of the season, but
of course we want to keep him here for
longer.
"There have been lots of positives in the last
few months, he has quickly emerged and
become a player with a good impact."
