I know the fans want to win trophies, we all do.

I had many dreams of winning things for Arsenal at a young age.

I have always dreamt of winning the Africa Cup of Nations and the fact that I am representing my country and I am always proud to wear the green white green.

Of course, when I was younger I always wanted to have the newest Air Force 1s but my budget wasn't too good back then! I always stuck with the white or black AF1s.

From Under 15s to Under 19s, I was concentrating playing for England, it was close to me, I could just go to St George's Park, it was nice. Going back to school when you've just played for England, it was amazing, you're one of the best players in the country, that's why you're getting picked.

If I make a mistake I try to use it as a lesson and try to improve on it.

I'm very proud to represent Nigeria but I would like to say thank you to England for the chance they gave me, it was a difficult decision.

Arsenal is an amazing club, I have been there since primary school and it's a place I call home and passionate fans who are like family members.

I love attacking, but I hate defending and it's something I need to add to my game.

As long as I am progressing and trying to do my best for the team that is what really matters.

I am not one to chicken out.

Arsenal's standards are very high so I've always tried to reach that.

I used to play football on the streets with my friends and ended up where I am today.

Obviously my joy is to play football and not just sit out.

When people compare me to him... it's like 'wow' maybe they see me on his level but I don't believe I am there yet. It is what it is, he's a skilful player, I'm quite skilful myself so they are always going to compare me to him especially that he's my uncle.

My dad, my uncle and my whole family loves football.

Growing up, I had always looked up to LG as a big brand and they are doing very well.

I get the privilege to play with Mesut every day. He is a world-class player. He gives me advice in a different way. He jokes around but he always tells me I can do more. He also gives me the confidence to express myself.

With the money thing it is mad. As a young kid earning so much, having a house and driving a nice car it is nice but it is something I keep level-headed about.

It was a difficult decision picking Nigeria over England.
