EXTRA TIME: Alex Iwobi spends time with Jay-Jay Okocha before Arsenal return

Arsenal star Alex Iwobi met his uncle and former Bolton Wanderers captain Jay-Jay Okocha before reporting to London Colney for training.

Iwobi was in action as Nigeria bagged a 3-1 win over Seychelles in their final 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers last Friday and also played a part in their 1-0 win over Egypt in Tuesday's international friendly.

His international commitment ruled him out of the Gunners' 3-2 win over Al Nassr in Dubai on Tuesday but he is set to join the rest of squad as they prepare for Monday's Premier League match against Newcastle United at Emirates Stadium.
