Iwobi, who represented Nigeria at this summer's World Cup fiesta will jet off with his club to Singapore where they will continue their pre-season campaign after he was named in the 25-man traveling squad.
It is understood Arsenal will demand a sum close to €25 million for the talented winger if they are willing to sell him at all.
