“Alex Iwobi Close To Signing New Deal”- Arsenal Boss Unai Emery Confirms

Alex Iwobi is close to signing a new deal with Arsenal, head coach Unai Emery has confirmed.

Iwobi, whose contract runs to 2020, made 26 appearances in the Premier League last season and scored three times for the Gunners.

And the Nigeria international will soon renew his contract to commit his future to Arsenal, Emery told reporters ahead of an International Champions Cup meeting with former club Paris Saint-Germain.

Iwobi, who has been linked with a number of European clubs this summer, including Lazio, played no part in the 3-1 penalty shoot-out defeat to Atletico Madrid, having only just returned from a break following his exertions for Nigeria at the World Cup.

“I have the information – he’s near,” Emery said. “First, I want to work with every player, and they are coming.

“Mesut [Ozil] , Iwobi, [Mohamed] Elneny are starting to work with us, the first week is very good. My information is he is going to sign and continue with us.”
