The Gunners are preparing or a crunch Premier League game against Everton at Goodison Park as Unai Emery will be looking to keep their top four hopes alive with a win.

Arsenal have been blessed with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette firepower as they have scored 30 league goals between them this season.

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.

Another commented: “Shame he can’t do it on match day.”

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.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
