Arsenal’s youngster, Alex Iwobi who was recently called up to play for the Super Eagles by Sunday Oliseh has committed to the country of his birth – NIGERIA.
Iwobi, who is the nephew of former Nigeria star Jay-Jay Okocha, was called up ten days after Jordon Ibe committed himself to England.
Iwobi, who was on the bench for Arsenal’s clash against Spurs last night, has been selected by manager Sunday Oliseh for friendlies against DR Congo and Cameroon next month.
The 19-year-old was born in Nigeria but has represented England at under-16, 17 and 18 levels.
He said in January: “My dad has told me a lot of things about the honour and pride that goes with playing for Nigeria.
“So I thought a lot about this and decided to play for Nigeria.”
