''My nephew Alex Iwobi marked his Emirates debut with a goal. Great stuff Alex. Wenger is really doing a great job with the young star,'' Austin Okocha posted on Twitter.
He added: ''Chuba Akpom whose dad is a good friend of mine is also on the right course. A hat-trick in their Asian trip says a lot about what to come.''
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has reiterated that Alex Iwobi will not be sent out on loan this summer while he kept mum about Chuba Akpom's status.
