Iwobi: Zaha Arsenal arrival may force me to leave

Alex Iwobi has opened the door to leaving Arsenal this summer.

Iwobi says he might be forced to leave the club if they sign Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.

He told The Sun: “I am not one to chicken out. I have had it all over the years, being told I'm not good enough.

"So whenever the chance comes I always try and prove I should be starting. But it's going to be difficult if Zaha comes. He will add more stress.

“I am up for the fight but the only time I would consider leaving is if I am not playing as much as I would like to.

“Obviously, my joy is to play football and not just sit out.

“If it comes to that I would have no choice but to leave. But I would always put up a fight to play — that is what I have done all my life.

“We have big stars already, so by adding another one I'll just have to prove I can do better than them."
