Arsenal sensation Alex Iwobi has every intention of remaining at Arsenal, despite interest from Spanish giants Barcelona.
The electric winger has been at Arsenal since age six, and now 20-years-old, he is now an established member of Arsene Wenger's first team.
Iwobi, who is also the nephew of the legendary Jay Jay Okocha, is contracted to Arsenal until 2020, but Barcelona are said to be monitoring him quite keenly. However, the player's father, Chuka, is of the opinion that Arsenal is the best place for his son to keep developing.
At this point in time, he is at the right place. He's doing well at Arsenal, but should any club come for him now, the answer would certainly be no,� Chuka said toAfricanFootball.com
For him now, it's not about the money. So, should a club like Barcelona come with more money, he will certainly stay back at Arsenal because now it is not about him making money, it's about him concentrating on his career, progressing and going on to the next stage.
He has broken into the first team and what they all talk about is his humility. Personally, that's very important because when a player starts getting arrogant that's when the player fails.
I see him being with Arsenal for very many, many years.�
Iwobi was born in Nigeria and moved to England at the age of four. He had the opportunity to make himself available toEngland, having played for their Under 16,17 and 18 sides, but opted to represent the country of his birth.
He has made 14 appearances for Arsenal so far this season, only missing two matches through injury.
