#2 Alex Iwobi – Arsenal’s next star?

Alex Iwobi was impressive once again

Alex Iwobi is slowly but surely cementing his place in the starting line-up. The Nigerian international has racked up three assists in the league this season and also played a huge part in Arsenal’s equaliser against PSG midweek. It was his goal-bound shot that was guided in by Sanchez for Arsenal’s opener and to be fair the goal should have been awarded to the 20-year-old.

Iwobi has been a bright spot in a relatively slow start to the season for the Gunners and it will be interesting to see if he can maintain his intensity and form as the season progresses. It will also be interesting to note if Wenger persists with Iwobi on the left when Perez does find his feet in the league and Sanchez is shifted to where he should be.
