Alex Iwobi picks out "joke" in Arsenal training who is set to follow him out of club

Former Arsenal ace Alex Iwobi has raised eyebrows with his claim that his ex-Gunners team-mate Reiss Nelson was a 'joke' in training.

Now of Everton, Iwobi spent more than 10 years on the books at Arsenal before eventually making the move to Goodison Park in the summer of 2019. During his time in north London, the Nigeria international made just shy of 150 appearances and boasts one FA Cup triumph on his honours list before he headed for the Emirates exit.

Though nearly four years have passed since Iwobi left his boyhood club, he has revealed he still keeps a close eye on how Arsenal are getting on and had plenty to say about a fellow Hale End academy graduate in Nelson.
