Alex Iwobi is eyeing to fulfilling his childhood dream of laying his hands on a silver ware as Arsenal scheduled to face Chelsea in the Europa League final in Baku on 29th May.
The Gunners missed out on a Champions League spot following their fifth place finish in the Premier League and need to win the Europa League to grab an automatic berth in the Champions League.
Iwobi has been pivotal in Arsenal’s Europa League journey and is likely to be given a start in this clash. With Henrikh Mkhitaryan unavailable due to security issues Chelsea hold a definite edge over their London rivals.
Iwobi said, “To be here and have an opportunity to play in such a big final is great.
“I’ve had many dreams of winning things for Arsenal at a young age. I never thought I’d make it this far.
“Every trophy to us is special, we always want to do our best and win as many as we can, and the Europa League final is another one we can win.”
“It’s great, not just for me but also to show youth in the Arsenal academy that they have a chance to play at this level,
“So for players like Joe Willock, there are a lot of opportunities and if you keep on believing, you can make it or even do better than me.”
