Nigeria international Alex Iwobi and his Arsenal teammates took on a creepy challenge in the spirit of Halloween.

Arsenal released a video of Iwobi with Per Mertesacker and Granit Xhaka trying to blow up one of their team-mate's balloons the quickest.




Iwobi however lost in the challenge to midfielder Xhaka who got a themed octopus as a reward.

Iwobi and Arsenal players were not the only Premier League stars involved in a sort of challenge for Halloween.

The players were made to guess what was inside each box to progress. Inside the last box was a supposed human head which scared Llorente.

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar chose to dye his hair green which could be a homage to American singer Frank Ocean who posed with green hair on the cover of one of his albums ‘Blond’.

NBA star LeBron James went very scary with the portrayal of Pennywise the clown from Stephen King’s novel-turned-movie ‘IT’.

The NBA star is seen grinning in a photo which shows his very accurate portrayal of the clown with the fiery red hair and balloons tied to his wrist.
