Arsenal are famously short of striking options, or at least that was the general consensous among supporters after the Gunners failed to sign Real Madrid goal-machine Karim Benzema this summer.
However, 19-year-old Alex Iwobi penned a new contract with Arsenal earlier today and, as the video below illustrates, he is capable of making the net bulge in spectacular fashion.

Iwobi can play as a winger, as well as up front.
He possesses a wide selection of tricks, but not quite as many as his uncle, former Nigeria playmaker Jay-Jay Okocha, used to dazzle fans with.
Like Okocha, Iwobi was born in Nigeria. However, Arsenal’s no.45 has represented England at multiple youth levels.
Iwobi has not yet made a senior appearance for Arsenal in a competitive fixture, but he played and scored in this season’s Emirates Cup.
Arsenal have not publicly revealed the length of Iwobi’s contract, but the report on the club’s official website states that it is a “long-term” deal.
