Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi has come under fire after a video of him emerged at a supposedly drug-fuelled party the day before the London side's shock FA Cup exit.

The clip shows the 21-year-old Nigerian international, who is on a reported £30,000-a-week at the Emirates, dancing and screaming at 2.37am on Saturday at a flat in Soho.

And the next day he started in the pivotal number 10 role for the Gunners as they flopped to a 4-2 third round defeat to Championship team Nottingham Forest.

Fans have now called for his head, saying he doesn't deserve to be at the North London club.

Although there is no suggestion Iwobi was taking drugs, tenants in neighbouring flats reported laughing gas canisters and a strong smell of cannabis coming from the party apartment, according to The Sun.

The Snapchat video showed the footballer in the centre of the shot with the caption, 'Shouldn't Iwobi be sleeping?'.

Iwobi's social media habits have been a bugbear for many Arsenal fans, with many slating him for spending too much time on his phone posting pictures and videos of himself at Nando's, his luxurious lifestyle and previously with his ex Clarisse Juliette before they split last year.

A source told the paper the group had been refused entry to a club, so rented an AirBnB flat in Soho.

The partying kept residents awake for hours, and it is thought the antics went on for at least another hour.

Arsenal fans were furious with Iwobi's performance, describing him as 'rubbish' and saying he would be better suited to Championship level with Nottingham Forest.

And the emergence of the video has done nothing to stem the flow of the criticism.

Supporters were last night calling for Arsene Wenger to suspend the star over his antics.

One fan said on Twitter: 'Arsenal should suspend Alex Iwobi for his actions on Saturday night and Sunday morning, knowing he was a "senior player" on the Sunday against Forest.

'Sheer stupidity and naivety from him.

'Explains his poor performance too.'

Another said: 'Doesn't deserve to start now don't deserve to be at this club.

'We want him sold or contract ripped up and thrown away.'

One fan threw down an ultimatum to the Arsenal attacker, saying: 'Sacrifice now and become something or be forgotten as a nobody. Your choice.'

But not all fans took to social media to slate him.

Many fans stood up for Iwobi with one even suggesting the late night boosted his performance levels.

A fan said: 'Not really bothered he was out, if anything he played a bit better than usual got got an assist.'

A spokesman from the club refused to comment on the matter, but a source told The Sun the Nigerian's late night could have had an impact on his showing in the cup tie.

This time last year, Iwobi was pictured at a Rae Sremmurd gig with model Clarisse Juliette at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire.

They split months later having spent three and a half years as a couple, it was claimed.

Juliette was quickly becoming one of the more famous WAGs at Arsenal and posted a picture of the pair on her Instagram account showing Iwobi giving her an adoring gaze.

Her Instagram feed is now almost exclusively pictures of her by herself, mirroring her ex-boyfriend's.
