Alex Iwobi signs new long-term Arsenal contract

Teenage striker Alex Iwobi puts pen to paper on a new "long-term" contract with Arsenal.

Teenage forward Alex Iwobi has signed a new "long-term" contract with Arsenal.

The 19-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut for the Gunners, but was involved with the seniors in pre-season.


He is a regular for Arsenal's Under-21 outfit and has scored 11 goals in his last 14 appearances for the Gunners' second string.

"I like to think I have earned [the new deal]," Iwobi told the club website. "I have gone through a lot with Arsenal so to have a new and improved contract is very good and I'm happy to have earned it.

"I have had ups and downs. As I was growing up I had a lot of downs but as I get older things just keep getting better and better.

"The ultimate goal is to break into the first team and play as many games as I can."

Iwobi, who is currently away on international duty with Nigeria, has been named as a substitute on four occasions under Arsene Wenger.
