Jay-Jay Okocha Is Clearly A Proud Uncle Of Alex Iwobi

Alex Iwobi has a very promising future ahead of him. The Arsenal forward has scored in his first two Premier League starts for the Gunners and has looked very impressive. His uncle is clearly very proud of him.

Iwobi's talent is clearly in the DNA as former Bolton Wanderers legend Jay-Jay Okocha, so good they named him twice, his the young Nigerian's uncle. And after goal in today's game against Watford uncle Jay-Jay took to Twitter to talk about his feelings towards Alex.

After playing friendlies for Nigeria previously Iwobi played in their African Cup of Nations fixtures during the international break meaning he can't switch his allegiance to England as the FA had hoped he would having played up to under 18s for his adopted country.

Who knows Iwobi could become the footballer that all Arsenal fans hoped Theo Walcott would be...
