Iwobi teammates keep a date with Taronga Zoo










Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi and his Arsenal teammates  enjoyed a day with kangaroos and koala bears at Taronga Zoo in Sydney as they continue their pre-season preparations.
Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny are used to trying to feed strikers hungry for goals.
But they and a number of their Arsenal team-mates swapped footballs for food on Wednesday when they enjoyed a day with the animals at Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
Arsene Wenger's side are currently on a pre-season tour of Australia ahead of the Community Shield against Chelsea and the upcoming Premier League season.
The players were introduced to exotic birds at the zoo, which overlooks the city of Sydney
And a number of his players made the most of their time Down Under to explore some of the country's famous wildlife.
Alex Iwobi, Xhaka, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Reiss Nelson and Joseph Willock were pictured feeding kangaroos and posing alongside koala bears.
They were also introduced to exotic birds while overlooking downtown Sydney and the famous Harbour Bridge.
The Gunners play two against two local sides in Sydney before moving on to China where they will face Bayern Munich and
Chelsea. Their final pre-season matches see them play Benfica and Sevilla back at the Emirates.
The season's traditional curtain-raiser against Premier League champions Chelsea will take place at Wembley on August 6, just five days before Wenger's side begin their Premier League campaign against Leicester.
