Super Eagles Star Iwobi Gushes Over 'WhatsApp Craze' By Arsenal Players
Published: March 08, 2018
Super Eagles of Nigeria and Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi has revealed how active the under pressure Gunners have been on social media platform WhatsApp.
Iwobi who expectedly has made Nigeria's squad for the pre World Cup friendlies later this month against Poland and Serbia, alongside Arsenal teammate, Hector Bellerin, has been saddled to reveal to the duo of new arrivals, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all they need to know about the club and 'activities' of the players on their WhatsApp group.
Iwobi was asked by Premier League co broadcasters BT Sport who is most active on the chat, and the 21 year-old answered: "Mo [Elneny]. Mo is always on his phone.
"If we go to an away game he's always posting a picture of what we're doing - bed time, his hair."
Iwobi also revealed that Danny Welbeck is the opposite of Mohamed Elneny on the group chat.
"The one who likes to add a bit of banter is Danny," Iwobi added.
"He always puts me, I don't know why he always puts me."
Iwobi is expected to be named to Arsenal's match day squad in tonight's Round of 16 UEFA Europa League first leg clash against hosts AC Milan at the San Siro.
Arsene Wenger's men have lost four games on the trot in all competitions of late and seemingly have only the Europa League as the route to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.
