Iwobi Can Be Among The Best Players If… Wenger

By Augustine Akhilomen

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has revealed that Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi must improve on his goal scoring ability if he must be rated among the best players in the Premier League.

Iwobi is presently with the Super Eagles as they intensify training ahead of Saturday’s crucial 2018 World Cup qualifier against Zambia in Uyo.

He was on the score sheet as Arsenal defeated Brighton 2-0 in Sunday’s EPL encounter at the Emirates Stadium.

“I think he is the kind of player who has a good availability and helps you a lot to get out of pressure when you’re in the build-up and creates spaces.

“What we want of him is final balls and goals as well. A player like him must score 10 goals and he must get between six and 10 assists. That’s what I want of him.”
