I’ve had a decent career so far considering my age,’ though he was keen to stress his achievements so far have only left him determined ‘to achieve more in the game, to win more trophies and play more for Nigeria.’

Iwobi, who was handed his professional debut by Wenger added that he was ‘someone who had that sense of excitement to jump on the pitch.

‘I don’t think that’s changed at all, I look back at that first game where I came on, just thinking “yeah this is my moment”…’

Iwobi also admits that he will always remember a piece of advice given to him by Wenger.

Iwobi said: ‘He [Wenger] always told me to get the basics right and do them well, and then my natural ability will shine through. As long as I’m doing that and following that advice, I feel like I always play well.’
