The youngster has been highly impressive for Arsenal this season.
Arsenal legend Charlie Nicholas has told Sky Sports that he believes there is more to come from youngster Alex Iwobi.
The forward broke into the Gunners first-team last season having previously starred in the youth setup.
After being handed a surprise start in the Champions League away to Barcelona, he has gone on to establish himself as a regular in Arsene Wenger’s line-ups.
Iwobi was once again in fine form over the weekend as he played a starring role in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Chelsea.
Speaking on Sky Sports before that game, Nicholas was full of praise for the youngster.
“There’s no doubt he’s got ability,” he said. “I think there’s more to come from him. I think he’s definitely one to stay in the team, I’m glad Wenger is starting to keep him in the team. He looks like one that will [take the opportunity].”
Iwobi is certainly justifying his selection in the Arsenal team at present with his performances.
He is currently the highest assist maker at the club with three in six games. In contrast, Mesut Ozil is yet to register an assist.
He is also creating the most big chances of any Arsenal player per game so far, as well as sitting in the top three when it comes to key passes per game.
Those are impressive stats and if he can keep it up then his place in the team will be fully justified.
