The father of Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi says that his son would reject Barcelona in order to stay at the club.
Iwobi has broken into Arsenal’s first team this season, becoming a regular in the Premier League. Hey, he got into this top ten.
Chuka Iwobi told Africanfootball.com that his son wanted to stay at Arsenal for many years, and would reject a pay rise at Barcelona.
“At this point in time, he is at the right place,” the Nigeria international’s father, Chuka Iwobi, said.
“He’s doing well at Arsenal, but should any club come for him now, the answer would certainly be no.
“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.”
