Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi has revealed he is regularly advised by his ex-footballer uncle Jay-Jay Okocha.
Iwobi has two goals and three assists in his past three games and he's enjoyed Okocha's support on social media.
“Before that I didn't even know he had Twitter!" Iwobi told Arsenal Player. “All my friends were asking if I saw what my uncle had said so I checked it out. It is crazy and I'm just happy I'm making him proud and hopefully I will be even better than him.
“He was at the Watford game and the Barcelona game," added Iwobi. “The fact he comes to watch shows it means a lot to him and he shows his support. It is good for me.
“[I get advice from him] almost weekly. He came to my house the other day. Unfortunately I missed him because I was here [at the training ground] but we do keep in contact a lot. He does tell me what I need to do and what I need to work on.
“He is always telling me that he knows a lot has happened and that I have come far, but he says to stay humble and that I will go far."
