Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has hailed the performance of his young Nigerian forward, Alex Iwobi, in the Gunners 3 – 1 triumph over Sunderland in Saturday’s FA Cup clash.
The teenager impressed in his first start at the Emirates Stadium and was involved in the equalizer netted by Joel Campbell in the first half.
“I liked the timing of his passes. He did well in the middle of the park, that is a vital quality and that fact he plays forward and sees things.
“As a young boy he is not afraid to come on and that is not easy,” allnigeriasoccer.com quoted Wenger as saying to reporters after the match.
Alex Iwobi is the nephew of the legendary Jay-Jay Okocha. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
