Arsenal Superkid Nelson Thanks Iwobi For Helping Him Settle Into The Squad
Published: November 01, 2017
Talented Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson has named Alex Iwobi as one of the four players that assisted him to settle into the Gunners first-team squad.
Having impressed manager Arsene Wenger during pre-season training, the Hale End Academy product was promoted to the Gunners first-team and has appeared six times in all competitions so far this season, including the Community Shield clash against Chelsea.
''It was different coming from Hale End to London Colney. The coaching is so much different and the environment – you’ve got loads of first team players and world class players there,'' Nelson said to Arsenal’s official website.
''Alex Iwobi has really helped me. He’s always making jokes and seeing I’m okay. Lacazette as well is a nice guy.
''Ozil, Hector (Bellerin) as well – those are the boys, all the boys really, that have taken me in as a person and a footballer as well. ''
The 17-year-old Nelson, who is an England U19 international, signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in December 2016.
