Alex Iwobi is proud to be making it at Arsenal.

The 20-year-old Nigeria international has broken into the first team of late, starting Arsenal's last seven Premier League games.

Arsene Wenger's team are unbeaten over that period, while Iwobi's desire, speed and direct contributions with two goals and two assists have endeared him to frustrated supporters.

“I have always loved Arsenal," Iwobi revealed. “When I was young, I was always waiting to watch the legends of the club play. You could say I have the blood of Arsenal in me!

"As a youngster, the main thing for me was confidence. It has been a rollercoaster with a lot of ups and a few downs that I have had to get over in the past. Certainly now there are a lot more positives in my career."
