ARSENAL stars Alex Iwobi and Chuba Akpom teamed up to post two brilliant throwback photos.

Looking proud in his 2002-03 Arsenal kit, the future Gunners star showed just how far he has come since joining the club's academy some 16 years ago.
The Nigeria attacker, who scored the goal to send his country to the World Cup, had more reason to celebrate after picking up the Philanthropic Endeavour: Community Action award at the BOA awards in London earlier this week.
The gong recognised the role Iwobi has played in impacting communities in his homeland.
Not be outdone, team-mate Akpom also got in on the action with a hilarious photo from when the two were young.
