IWOBI
Alex Iwobi is relishing his starting role in the Arsenal
first-team and admits he plays every match like it's his last.
The 20-year-old is determined to
keep his place having been given his chance by Arsene Wenger.
Appearing in nine of the Gunners'
Premier League matches already this season, as well as playing in the Champions
League, Iwobi admits he didn't expect to be in the Arsenal side so soon after a
meteoric rise from the youth team.

'Honestly I didn't expect to be
where I am today,' Iwobi told Arsenal Player.
'I thought a long time ago that I'd
be on loan and probably get experience there before having experience in the
first team, but the fact that the boss trusted me to jump into the first team
as quick as I did, I'm just grateful for it.
'The same way I was able to break
into it is the same way that I take the chance now.
'I play like it's almost like my last game, I treat it like
it's my last moment here, so I do my best and I always put 100 per cent into
whatever I do.'
'If you don't do as well as you
think you could've done, there's other players, other international, great
players, that can just step in.
'So you just have to take the chance
all the time and do your best when the time comes.'
