Arsenal starlet Alex Iwobi shows off his commemorative picture from Premier League as one of 67 homegrown debutants in 2015/16

The Premier League have marked a record-breaking season for homegrown debuts in the top flight with a commemorative graphic awarded to the 'Class of 2015-16'.

Sixty-seven homegrown graduates made their Premier League bows last season, a new high since the launch of their Elite Player Performance Plan in 2012.

Arsenal's Alex Iwobi, one of the 67, posed with a framed version of the composite image, awarded to him to mark his first appearance in Arsenal's 3-0 win at Swansea City in October of last year.
