Iwobi To Trouser At Least N46.8 Million If Arsenal Beat Chelsea In Europa League Showpiece

Published: May 21, 2019

Alex Iwobi is in line to pocket at least 100,000 pounds (approximately N46.8 million in Nigerian currency) if Arsenal beat Chelsea in the final of the Europa League on Wednesday, May 29.

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are set to heavily reward their players if they win the Europa League and payments ranging from £100,000 to £500,000 will be made to the players, bringing the total payments to around £10 million.

The maximum amount Iwobi can receive as cash bonus is N234 million, if Unai Emery's team win their first continental trophy since they won the defunct European Cup Winners Cup in 1994.

The Nigeria international penned a new deal with the Emirates Stadium outfit in August 2018 and it is believed that there is an agreement for bonus payments for European success inserted into the contract.

Though Iwobi was a non-playing substitute in both legs of the semifinal against Valencia, the Hale End Academy graduate has appeared in ten matches in this season's Europa League, scoring one goal and providing two assists.

Arsenal will face Yusuf Otubanjo's LASK Linz in a behind-closed doors friendly on Thursday as part of their preparations for the Europa League showpiece.
