Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi has been called up to the Nigeria squad.

Iwobi is the nephew of former Nigeria and Bolton captain Jay-Jay Okocha and Nigeria have called him up to their squad for friendlies against Congo and Cameroon in October.

He was born in Nigeria and trained with their Under 23 squad this year but has played for England at the Under 16, 17 and 18 levels.

Iwobi was on the bench for Wednesday's Capital One Cup tie with Tottenham.
