It can sometimes be tough for summer signings to quickly settle into their surroundings, but Alex Iwobi has given two of Arsenal's new arrivals a helping hand.

The 20-year-old forward grew up in London, and has used his expertise to teach Granit Xhaka and Rob Holding some typical street phrases.

Including such gems as 'That spice is a mad ting' and 'Those crepes are dead', the lesson makes for a hilarious YouTube video.
