IKPEBA FAULTS OBOABONA ARSENAL SNUB

Former Super Eagles Striker Victor Ikpeba has condenmed Godfrey Oboabona not to undergo
trials with Arsenal Football Club.
Oboabona had said it was disrespectfull for Arsene Wenger to call him to undergo trials after
what he achieved with the Super Eagles in the recent AFCON.
But Ikpeba, who played under Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger at French club Monaco, said the
Sunshine Stars skipper got it wrong.
Ikpeba told MTNFootball.com:"Oboabona was wrongly advised, he should have gone for the trials
even if he does not make it into Arsenal, another English side would have seen him.
"I know he would say he has won the AFCON and plays for Sunshine Stars but he should
understand that it's not the same way these European coaches view European and South America
players they view African players.
"Yes, we have talent but you need to understand how they play, adjust to their weather and a lot
of things, so I think he should have gone for the trials because I know Arsene Wenger has a lot
of respect for African players."
