Super Eagles winger, Alex Iwobi, has been promoted to Arsenal’s first team and will no longer feature for the club U-21 side.

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, announced ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Leicester City that he will not loan out the forward before the end of this season.

The youngster will keep his number 45 jersey for the rest of this campaign, but will be allocated a lower squad number before the start of next season, allnigerigeriasoccer.com reports.

Iwobi has featured in every single competition for the Gunners this season- the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, racking up eight appearances in the process.
