Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi has thanked Jack Wilshere for helping him develop his game at Arsenal.
Iwobi joined Arsenal at the age of eight and rose through the academy ranks to cement his place in Arsene Wenger's first-team squad.
It was a path previously trod by Wilshere and Iwobi has thanked his pal for motivating him during his youth-team days.
"He’s helped me out massively… he’s brilliant on the ball, he’s able to find space and he’s the master of the no-touch turn," Iwobi said.
"He doesn’t even need to touch the ball, he just shields it with his body and turns away from defenders with ease.
"It’s something that us youth team players used to watch and then try in training. He’s a big inspiration for us.
"A couple of times in training we used to get together and practice the ‘Jack Wilshere turn’, but nobody can do it as well as he can!"
Unfortunately for Arsenal's latest batch of kids, Wilshere has been unable to showcase his skills after fracturing his fibula in pre-season.
