Arsenal and Nigeria have agreed that Alex Iwobi will join up late with the country’s Olympic team to the Rio Olympics after his pre-season with the Premier League club.
A top source told reporters that Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia has agreed for attacking midfielder Iwobi to join up late with the rest of the squad after his pre-season with his club.
“Iwobi will be involved with Arsenal pre-season and it is only after that he will join up with the Nigeria squad for the Rio Olympics,” a source said.
“It’s only after his pre-season he will be available for Nigeria and (coach) Samson Siasia has agreed to this arrangement.”
At 20, Iwobi is eligible for the Olympics and even trained with the Olympic team before he made his full international debut for Nigeria in October last year.
