Iwobi Supports Fernandez Amid Arsenal Transfer Interest

Alex Iwobi has expressed support for Emmanuel Fernandez after the latter's debut with the Super Eagles during the recent international break, where he played against Iran. Fernandez made a notable impact in his first two games, showcasing composure and solid performance alongside teammate Chibuik Nwaiwu.

Iwobi, who earned his 99th cap in a match against Jordan, praised Fernandez's contributions, which he believes will boost the team's confidence. Reports indicate that Arsenal is interested in signing Fernandez, who currently plays for Rangers, with a valuation set at £35 million.

This figure could establish a new record for outgoing transfers from Scotland. Fernandez joined Rangers from Peterborough for £3.5 million last summer, and his contract runs until 2029, with Peterborough holding a significant sell clause that could benefit them in the event of a major transfer.
