ALEX IWOBI may be Arsenal's latest star - but he has been with the club for 13 years.
Iwobi has enjoyed a breakthrough season at the Emirates this term, making 14 appearances so far.
The 19-year-old scored his first Arsenal goal during the 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday.
And the Gunners have marked the occasion with an Instagram picture throwing back to the day he joined the club.
"It's been quite a week for @alexanderiwobi - here he is signing for #Arsenal, aged seven, back in November 2003. #YoungGun #Academy #Iwobi #Gooner" Arsenal posted.
Iwobi started for Arsene Wenger's men against Everton and Barcelona, having come off the bench for the defeat to Watford.

Arsenal are expected to reward Iwobi with a bumper new contract, having signed his first pro deal in May 2014 and being given an extension just five months ago.
The Evening Standard claim the teenage forward will have his £850-a-week deal increased to £10,000 a week.
