Arsene Wenger is reluctant to let Alex Iwobi leave Arsenal on loan this season, according to the youngster's father, reports the London Evening Standard.
"A few clubs in the United Kingdom and abroad have approached Arsenal to take Alex on loan but Arsene Wenger wants him to be with the first team because he did very well in pre-season.
"Alex's preferred option at this stage is to go on loan to gain first team experience and come back to Arsenal later on to fight for a place," Chuka Iwobi told Goal.
The 19 year old is currently on international duty but hopes that his future is resolved once he returns.
"Hopefully a loan move will be sorted out by the time Alex comes back from international duties. As regards the likely club Alex will play for on loan, at the moment discussions are ongoing."
