Born in Lagos, Nigeria, on May 3, 1996, Alexander Chuka Iwobi moved to England at a young age and began his football career with Arsenal’s academy at six years old in 2002. He steadily progressed through the youth ranks, eventually making his first-team debut in the League Cup in 2015 under Arsene Wenger. His Premier League debut followed shortly after, along with appearances in the Champions League the same season. Early in his career, Iwobi earned a reputation as a technically gifted player capable of operating across multiple attacking midfield roles. During his tenure at Arsenal, he secured an FA Cup victory in 2017 and was a key player in their journey to the 2019 UEFA Europa League Final, where he scored Arsenal’s only goal.
In September 2019, Iwobi transferred to Everton in a deal initially worth £28 million, rising to £34 million with add-ons. He became a consistent performer for the club, with his contributions being particularly vital in the 2022-23 season, where his 10 goal involvements helped Everton avoid relegation. This notable performance led to him being named Everton’s Players’ Player of the Season. Iwobi also achieved a significant milestone in April 2024, becoming the Nigerian footballer with the most minutes played in Premier League history.
Iwobi has also had a prominent international career with the Nigeria national team, making his senior debut in 2015. He represented Nigeria in the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019, 2021, and 2023, contributing to the team’s third-place finish in 2019 and runner-up position in 2023. In September 2023, he joined Fulham for an undisclosed fee, quickly making an impact by scoring his first goal for the club shortly after his debut. Beyond football, Iwobi launched a musical career in 2024 under the stage name ’17’, releasing two singles that year, and in December 2024, opened a temporary shop in east London to provide free food for local residents during Christmas.
