I want Iwobi to be more aggressive – Emery

Arsenal boss, Unai Emery has said even though he has been impressed with the performance of Alex Iwobi so far, he’ll like the midfielder to be more aggressive in attack.

The Super Eagles player has been impressive in the EPL this term, he was crucial in Arsenal’s win against Watford last weekend.

Speaking on Iwobi’s performance, Emery said he’s really been impressed.

“He works hard every day.

“Three weeks ago he was out of the team for two weeks with an injury,” he said.

“I’m very happy with him and his mentality. He has the quality to play right or left, to do more one-on-ones against the opposition.

“I want him to stay nearer the box to score and be more aggressive, finding assists for team-mates. This is the way for him and other players.”
