Arsenal's official website announced that 101 players have scored at the Emirates Stadium. Kai Havertz and Jorginho recently joined this list during Arsenal's 6-0 victory over Lens in the Champions League. Notably, Alex Iwobi, a product of Hale End Academy, is the only one among the 101 players eligible to represent the Nigeria national team.
Iwobi shares the distinction of scoring eight goals at the Emirates Stadium with Arsenal legends Thierry Henry and Eduardo da Silva. All eight of Iwobi's goals were in Premier League matches, with two each against Crystal Palace, Burnley, and Watford, and one each against Stoke City and Brighton & Hove.
Despite his contribution, Iwobi's eight-goal tally is surpassed by 34 other Arsenal players. The leading scorers at the Emirates Stadium include Robin van Persie with 64 goals, followed by Theo Walcott (56), Olivier Giroud (53), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (52), and Alexandre Lacazette (44).
In total, the Super Eagles playmaker scored fifteen goals in 149 appearances for Arsenal before transferring to Everton. Subsequently, he made a move to Fulham during the summer transfer window.
