Arsenal attacker Alex Iwobi has insisted that he might quit the club in search of a fresh opportunity if Wilfried Zaha arrives at the Emirates.
The Gunners have made no secret of their desire to have the Crystal Palace winger and already have made a £40m bid for the 26-year-old. However, the Eagles have already rejected the bid as it falls considerably short of their £80m evaluation of Zaha.
“I am not one to chicken out,” the 23-year-old told The Sun. “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.”
