Iwobi agrees long-term Arsenal deal

Arsenal have secured the services of club graduate Alex Iwobi on a new improved five-year contract. The Nigerian international impressed in the club's FA Cup campaign earlier this season and this has recently earned him a regular role in the domestic league.

Iwobi has scored in each of his last two starts for the Gunners, and this has earned him plaudits from the club's faithful.

According to The Mirror, the 19-year-old has committed his future to the Gunners by agreeing to a new five-year deal on wages worth £30,000-a-week.

Iwobi is the nephew of the former Nigerian legend and Bolton Wanderers midfielder Jay-Jay Okocha.
