Super Eagles and Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi has termed news reports that suggested he could quit Arsenal if the club signed Wilfried Zaha as “fake news & clickbait“.
The winger was quoted by The Sun as saying Zaha’s arrival from Crystal Palace “would add more stress” in his battle for a place in the first-team.
Iwobi had added: “I am up for the fight but the only time I would consider leaving is if I am not playing as much as I would like to.”
Another British newspaper ‘Daily Mail’ interpreted these comments as a warning to the club, which the 23-year-old Nigerian dismissed in a post on Twitter.
