Alex Iwobi has no intention of swapping Arsenal for Barcelona as he looks to continue his development.
That's the view of his father, Chuka, who believes that the Emirates Stadium is the right place for Iwobi to keep learning, and says his career "is not about making money".
Iwobi has been with the Gunners since the age of six, and has emerged as a first-team regular for Arsene Wenger's men this term.
But despite being under contract until 2020, recent speculation has suggested that the Spanish champions are keeping tabs on the versatile forward.
However he has no intention of leaving the north London club, according to his father.
“At this point in time, he is at the right place. He’s doing well at Arsenal, but should any club come for him now, the answer would certainly be no,” said Iwobi's father, speaking to AfricanFootball.com
“For him now, it’s not about the money. So, should a club like Barcelona come with more money, he will certainly stay back at Arsenal because now it is not about him making money, it’s about him concentrating on his career, progressing and going on to the next stage.”
Iwobi has made 14 appearances for the Gunners so far, missing just two Premier League matches this term - both through injury.
The 20-year-old has also made the step up at international level with Nigeria, but his father says that there is no chance complacency will set in any time soon.
“He has broken into the first team and what they all talk about is his humility. Personally, that’s very important because when a player starts getting arrogant that’s when the player fails.
“I see him being with Arsenal for very many, many years.”
