“All the players are the same. They have the same holidays. I know Iwobi, Elneny and Mesut Ozil. He’s coming with us to Singapore the first day.

“We are here to help everyone and Mesut is very important. Last year was difficult for everyone, not
only Mesut. Now it’s a new way. Mesut is on holiday and I want him to be calm, then when he comes back
to start hard,” revealed the coach.

iwobi is among the 25 players confirmed to fly out to Singapore on July 22 for the International Champions Cup where they are expected to trade tackles against Atletico Madrid and PSG at the Singapore National Stadium.

a starting role as an impact player, and Emery has now hinted that he could do same with the player.

Iwobi who was unveiled as brand ambassador for multichoice in Nigeria this week is due to return to club duties ahead of the Gunners’ departure on Sunday.
