In a 3-5-2 formation, the Hale End Academy product starts in midfield alongside Tottenham Hotspur’s Dele Alli, Harry Winks, Tom Davies, Leroy Sane and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
“The Nigerian has a trick or two up his sleeve, as might somebody who is the nephew of Jay-Jay Okocha, and links play up well between midfield and attack, ” ESPN wrote.
Iwobi, 20, has recorded 30 appearances for the Gunners across all competitions this season, scoring 4 goals and providing 6 assists.
