Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi who is currently playing for Premier League giants Everton has stated emphatically that he is not regretting the decision he made to leave Arsenal last two years.
Alex Iwobi was born in Lagos before his parents moved to England where he started his football career at Arsenal youth team and was monitored by former coach Arsene Wenger.
At the age of 14, Alex Iwobi was almost released by the Gunners due to unimpressive performances from the Nigerian, but the London based team gave him another chance and he made use of it.
Iwobi was first involved in a first-team match as an unused substitute in a League Cup match against West Bromwich Albion in September 2013 and signed a long-term contract with Arsenal in October 2015.
And between the year 2015 and 2019, Alex Iwobi played 100 games for Arsenal scoring 11 goals before he left the Gunners for Everton.
According to the report on Complete Sports, Iwobi who won FA Cup with Arsenal claimed that things were tough for him at Arsenal when Unai Emery was appointed as manager.
“It’s tough going from that at Arsenal. One manager, obviously Unai Emery came and yeah it was a bit different because there was a lot of different methods.
''Things were getting changed, positions, formations, and I have had to play in numerous positions, so I was a bit unsettled.''
