Alex Iwobi once had his Arsenal payslip leaked online which showed his staggering monthly earnings at the Premier League club.

The 28-year-old Nigeria international, who now plays for Fulham, began his career at the Gunners as he graduated from the club's youth academy before breaking into the first-team.

He made his debut for the North London outfit in October 2015 and eventually made 21 appearances across all competitions during the 2015/16 campaign.

Iwobi enjoyed his best Arsenal season in 2018/19, having played 51 matches across all competitions, scoring six goals.

And during that term, his payslip that shows his financial earnings for the month of January was leaked online.

As you can see from the picture below, two pieces of documents were shared online – his 'Match Bonuses' sheet and his 'AFC Monthly Players Payroll'.

His payroll sheet revealed also monthly earning of £258,000, which works out at a weekly wage of around £60,000.

The leak also showed he earned a cool £33,250 in bonuses following Arsenal's victories over Burnley, Fulham and Chelsea in the Premier League, not to mention their win over Blackpool in the FA Cup.

In the summer of 2019, Iwobi secured a transfer to Everton in a deal worth £34 million and was believed to be earning £70,000-per-week.

The Nigerian signed for Fulham last summer in a deal that could reach £22 million. So far, Iwobi has made 18 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring five goals.

Away from football and the winger has recently released a new single, titled What's Luv? in collaboration with SPKS and MBrown.

"Music has always been a passion of mine, and a way for me to express myself away from football," he recently revealed, as per GOAL.

"Music is a great tool, and I’ve always used it as a productive way to share how I feel. Historically no Premier League player has brought out music with their name and face attached to it, but I like to be different and make a difference.

"Growing up in an area of London that is challenging for some people, I know how hard it can be and I’m grateful to have a platform to try and make a difference.

He added: "Alongside the work we do in the community, I hope that my music is another way of proving that young people do not have to feel they have to fit in just one box. I want them to be encouraged to achieve their dreams, to put their focus into positive things.

"Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football, it helps me switch off."
