Alex Iwobi set to sign new Arsenal deal to keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2022

Alex Iwobi is on the verge of signing a new long-term Arsenal deal.

Iwobi has agreed terms on an improved contract following talks which have been ongoing since the end of last season.

Iwobi’s previous deal, signed in 2015, ran until 2020.

But the 22 year-old attacking midfielder is set to extend his stay at Arsenal until 2022 when he puts pen to paper on his new agreement.

And Nigeria international Iwobi will commit his future to the Gunners despite interest from Lazio, AC Milan and Everton.
