Arsenal's Iwobi Signs Long-Term Contract Extension

Alex Iwobi has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal that ties him to the London side until 2022, the club announced on Friday.

Iwobi, who has been with the Gunners since he was nine years old, came through the club's Hale End Academy, breaking into the first team in 2015.

A lifelong fan, the 22-year-old was over the moon in putting pen to paper on a new deal.

“It's always been my childhood dream to represent Arsenal, from young,” Iwobi told Arsenal media during his signing presentation.

“To get an extended contract is an amazing feeling and I hope I'm doing the Arsenal family proud as well as my family.

“It feels so special. The first kit I had was Arsenal and long may I continue to represent them.”
