The Nigeria international says he’s happy with how his Arsenal’s career has taken a good shape since the arrival of Unai Emery at the Club.
The young forward has enjoyed a good playing time under the former Sevilla and PSG manager, with the Spaniard preferring the Nigerian to start alongside Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alexander Lacazzette ahead of Mesut Ozil in the Gunners front three.
Since replacing Arsene Wenger back in the Summer, Emery has also given several youngsters from the academy chance to impress in the first team which Nigeria international had earlier thought won’t be happening.
“I didn’t know what it was going to be like when he came,” Iwobi started.
“I can’t lie, it was a bit weird [at first] because I grew into the system playing under Arsene Wenger and that is all I have known.
“But when he did come — I came late to pre-season as I was at the World Cup — he spoke to me and said what ideas he had for me.
“I have bought into them and I’ve played in a lot of matches and he has shown a lot of faith in me. I thank him for that.
“Especially at a young age, to be involved in as many games makes me proud, but I have still got a long way to go and I am sure he has a lot more years at the club as well.
“You can see everyone is fighting, not just for us, but for him. He has good chemistry with the players and you can see that in his time here.
“To get us to a final, he has had the right tactics and the right players at the right time. We will do our best to win the final for him as well.”
Iwobi will have a chance to win his first title of the season when the Gunners face Chelsea in an all-English Europa League final on May 29.
