Arsenal 20 year old forward Alex Iwobi appears to have finally settled for a new shirt number with the Nigeria senior national team after twice switching numbers.
The shirt number he usually wore for Arsenal number 17 belongs to Eddy Onazi in the Nigeria senior senior team, forcing him to a change of number, which has seen him alternate between jersey 19,20 and 18.
Iwobi first wore jersey number 19 in his first two games for Nigeria, which were the friendly games against Congo DR and Cameroon.
However he made his debut for Nigeria in a different jersey against Egypt in the two legged AFCON 2017 qualifiers where he made his competitive debut for Nigeria over both legs in jersey number 18.
