Alex
Iwobi is the nephew of Super Eagles legend Jay-Jay Okocha. Unseen
throwback photos of the former professional footballer carrying his baby
nephew Alex have emerged on social media.
Alex’s father, Chuba Iwobi, is seen smiling heartily.
The
Arsenal forward, Iwobi, once admitted in an interview that he
experienced very difficult times in the past and his uncle, former Super
Eagles skipper Austin Okocha, helped him to find his feet.
Iwobi in an interview with Soccer Laduma reportedly said:
‘’Growing
up as a kid, there were times when I thought I was going to get
released.’‘’But my mum and dad were always there to help. I have had
some difficult times and, without my family and my uncle (Austin
Okocha), I wouldn’t be where I am today.
“Considering the
difficult path that I have had, my Arsenal career has been amazing. I’m
on a good way. However, I’m still young and I have got a long way to
go.’’
