Alex Iwobi has called on Arsenal fans to “have a bit more respect” for manager, Arsene Wenger.
He insisted that the squad is still behind the Frenchman.
Wenger is under huge pressure following a string of poor results, with supporters calling for him to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.
But Iwobi has said Wenger is “a great man” and labeled fans “impatient”.
“They need to have a bit more respect in my opinion,” he told Sportsmail after Nigeria’s friendly draw with Senegal on Thursday night.
“I mean, he’s been at the club for 20 years, he’s achieved a lot, obviously they’re a bit impatient with the results and where they want to finish.
“We also want to finish there, we want to win the league like anyone else, I can guarantee we are trying our hardest.
“Whatever happens we are the players, we affect the result. We don’t really look at the banners or what fans are screaming, we focus on trying to do our jobs on the pitch.”
