Okocha wants Iwobi to fight for Arsenal place #arsenal

Jay-Jay Okocha thinks his nephew Alex Iwobi should stay and fight for a first-team place at Arsenal rather than leaving on loan.

After regularly starting earlier in the season, Iwobi, 20, has found opportunities harder to come by in 2017.

But former Bolton midfielder Okocha, who will be playing for Nigeria at the Star Sixes tournament at The O2 in July, thinks staying at Arsenal would be best for Iwobi.

am delighted with what he has achieved so far.

“I think it’s better for him to stay at Arsenal, because the style of play suits him perfectly. It might not be easy for him to go on loan and adapt somewhere else. He needs to stay and fight for his shirt.”

Okocha will be one of a host of former Premier League stars competing at Star Sixes in July.

Steven Gerrard, Carles Puyol, Michael Ballack, Deco and Robert Pires will also be in action at the indoor six-a-side tournament.

“I’m very excited for it,” said Okocha. “I think I will be in my comfort zone.

“Everybody is looking forward to showing that we can still play a little bit. There are a lot of good players and it will be interesting.

“It’s all about meeting old colleagues, having fun and competing again without too much pressure. It’s going to be fun.”
