Alexander Chuka Iwobi ({{IPAc-en|ɪ|ˈ|w|oʊ|b|i}} {{respell|ih|WOH|bee}};[3] born 3 May 1996) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for {{English football updater|Arsenal}} club Arsenal and the Nigeria national team.

Early and personal life

Iwobi was born in Lagos before moving to England at the age of four, following a brief stay in Turkey.[4][5][6] He is the nephew of former professional footballer Jay-Jay Okocha.[5] He grew up in Newham.[8]

He is "best mates" with former Arsenal teammate Tyrell Robinson.[7]

Club career

Iwobi joined Arsenal while still at primary school,[8][9] in 2004,[10] and was nearly released by the club at the age of 14 and again at the age of 16.[11]

He was first involved in a first-team match as an unused substitute in a League Cup match against West Bromwich Albion on 25 September 2013.[12] He signed a long-term contract with Arsenal in October 2015.[8][13]

On 27 October 2015, Iwobi made his first-team debut for the club, starting in a 3–0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the Round of 16 of the League Cup.[14][15] He made his Premier League debut four days later in a 3–0 win against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium, as a stoppage time substitute for Mesut Özil.[16] Iwobi made his Champions League debut as an 85th-minute substitute in a 5–1 defeat against Bayern Munich.[17] Iwobi started in the first team for the 2015–16 FA Cup 3rd and 4th round home wins against Sunderland and Burnley respectively.[18][19]

After getting a first Champions League start in a 3–1 away defeat to Barcelona,[20] Iwobi went on to score two goals in his first two Premier League starts in wins against Everton,[21] and Watford, respectively.[22]

In the following season, Iwobi changed his squad number from 45 to 17. This was due to Chilean forward Alexis Sánchez taking up the newly vacated number 7 from the departing Tomáš Rosický.[23]

Iwobi went on to feature throughout Arsenal's victorious FA Cup campaign of 2016–17. As so he earned a winners medal as being part of the squad that beat Chelsea by 2 goals to 1 in the final of such.[27] He achieved further success with Arsenal in the 2017 Community Shield, in which Arsenal beat Chelsea on penalties.[24]

In May 2018, after Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger announced he would be leaving the club, Iwobi described him as an "inspiration" and stated it was sad but exciting.[25]

In August 2018 he signed a new long-term contract with the club, reportedly until 2023.[26]

International career

Iwobi started as a youth international for England, with whom he won the Victory Shield of 2011.[27][28][33] Iwobi went on though to play for Nigeria. He made his senior debut for the Super Eagles on 8 October 2015, replacing Ahmed Musa in the 57th minute of a 2–0 friendly defeat to DR Congo in Visé, Belgium.[29]

He was selected by Nigeria for their 35-man provisional squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[30] He was not a part of the 18-man final squad.[31]

In August 2017 Iwobi pulled out of Nigeria's squad for that month's World Cup qualifiers due to injury.[32] On 7 October 2017, Iwobi scored for Nigeria in a 1–0 win over Zambia to secure the Super Eagles a spot in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[33]

He was named in Nigeria's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[34] He said that the team needed to learn from its performance after going out in the group stages.[35]

Controversy

In January 2018 a video allegedly showing Iwobi at a late-night party 36 hours before a match was released.[36]

In January 2019, Iwobi was the subject of alleged racism from Indian actress Esha Gupta, an Arsenal ambassador.[37]
