Alex Iwobi tells 'crazy' story of creepy Arsenal fans who follow him home & even almost break his car just to take selfies

Super Eagles and Arsenal star player Alex Iwobi has revealed how his new found celebrity status at Arsenal has made fans go as far as stalking him back home and even breaking his car just to take selfies with him.

The 20-year-old Nigerian international has quickly become a star player under Arsene Wenger since making his debut last season and played 70 minutes of Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Basel last month but found himself being followed home from the Emirates by an over-obsessed stalker.

Speaking on Arsenal’s official club podcast, Alex Iwobi said:

“Especially after a game, I’m trying to go home and I see fans almost breaking my car just to grab a picture,” Iwobi said. “It’s just crazy. There’s been a lot of crazy things. The last home game we played, I was driving for 15 minutes and there was one fan following me and I was getting a bit scared because I was close to my destination.

“I was thinking: ‘Ah, I’m going to have to make a detour just to get to the destination before he finds out where I’m going. That was a bit mad.”

Somehow, I just seem to obtain the favour of those around me; from bosses to teachers, to friends to colleagues. I remember leaving my last job and there was a send off gathering where each co-worker was asked to say what they thought about me. I got comments like: “He’s a politician”; “He’s in everybody’s camp”; “No, he’s smart and diplomatic. He knows how to please everybody and stay close to key people”.

Snoop Dogg Would Have Gotten “Jail Time” If – Trump

Donald Trump took aim Wednesday at Snoop Dogg, saying the rap star would have gotten “jail time” had he pointed his gun at Barack Obama rather than the current US president in a video. Snoop Dogg, an early figure in California gangsta rap who has mellowed in recent years, this week released a video pegged to the release of his album “Lavender” in which most actors are clowns. One clown — unmistakably a parody of Trump, sporting bouffant hair and a red tie that dangles below the waist — gesticulates wildly at the podium of “The Clown House.” The clown puts his hands up as if under arrest as Snoop Dogg draws a pistol, with a flag popping out that says “Bang!” “Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!” Trump wrote on Twitter. Snoop Dogg was one of the leading rappers of the 1990s with hits such as “What’s My Name?” and “Gin & Juice.” In recent years, he has shed h...
