The youngster has managed just three goals in all competitions for Arsenal.
Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi must look to add more goals to his name, Ian Wright has told BT Sport.
Iwobi has established himself as a first-team regular over the last season and a half after breaking through into the side last year.
His goal record in that time has been less than impressive, with just three goals in 39 appearances in all competitions so far.

One of those came in the midweek win over Basel in the Champions League, his first in the competition.
That strike will have given him confidence and Wright has urged the 20-year old to work at improving his record in future.
“That’s what I think he needs [more goals],” Wright told BT Sport.
“I think he’s got everything and it’s good that Arsene Wenger eased him out of the team for a bit because he started to get a little bit stale with what he was doing.”

Iwobi will certainly need to improve his goalscoring record if he is to continue starring in the first team in future.
At this moment in time, it is not much of an issue, with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil having taken on the goalscoring burden for the Gunners this season.
If they start to struggle, though, Arsene Wenger’s side will need others to start chipping in and Iwobi must be among those who contributes.
