Arsenal star Alex Iwobi has explained his decision to swap his shirt number 45 for Alexis Sanchez’s number 17 ahead of the 2016/17 Premier League season.
Sanchez seized the opportunity to fill the vacant number seven shirt following Tomas Rosicky’s departure at the end of the campaign.
Alex Iwobi impressed last season wearing No45 after scoring two goals and making two assists in 13 Premier League appearances.
However, the 20-year-old spoke of his honour at succeeding the former Barcelona forward in the number 17 shirt after deciding to bid farewell to No45.
Iwobi wrote on his Instagram page: “Very Gutted To Let Go Of ‘Big45’ However It Is An Honour To Be Given Number 17 , New Chapter In My Career #COYG ✌🏽️”
