In the video clip, the squad are running some shooting drills as they receive the ball on the edge of the box before taking a touch and striking at goal.

The Super Eagle star got the ball from a coach, touching it to the right, then lines himself up for the shot.

Iwobi's effort lacks power as he falls to the ground but it is all a disguise, as the 22-year-old’s shot is chipped over Cech, who has come out of his goal to narrow his angle.

The ball bounces off the post and went in, leaving the Arsenal goalkeeper amazed as Iwobi’s team-mates scream in celebration as he runs away.

While a third fired a warning to Iwobi.

“This kid needs to take his finishing more seriously,” they said.

“He’s been rubbish at it for the past seasons.”

And a fourth added: “You need to do it games.”
