Arsenal forward, Alex Iwobi, has admitted he may be forced to leave the club, if they eventually land Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace.

The Gunners have already had a bid of around £40 million rejected for the Ivorian winger, who the Eagles value at closer to £80 million.
Zaha’s would limit Iwobi’s minutes at the Emirates and the Super Eagles star says he might have to quit.

“I am not one to chicken out.

“I have had it all over the years, being told I’m not good enough.

“So whenever the chance comes I always try and prove I should be starting. But it’s going to be difficult if Zaha comes. He will add more stress.

“Obviously my joy is to play football and not just sit out.

“If it comes to that I would have no choice but to leave. But I would always put up a fight to play – that is what I’ve done all my life,” Iwobi told The Sun.
