Super Eagles of Nigeria and Arsenal whiz-kid Alex Iwobi, has been praised by his club captain Laurent Koscielny.

The young star was rated as one of the best players after his team's Europa League victory against FC Vorskla Poltava and did well when he came on in the second half for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in yesterday's win vs Everton.

Iwobi has been encouraged by Laurent Koscielny, who has listed four qualities of the winger and also mentioned his two shortcomings.

''He has huge potential and he needs to realise how good he could become, '' Koscielny said in his programme notes before Arsenal's Premier League match against the Toffees.

''Right now, he is definitely on the right path to do just that. He is working hard at training and his confidence is high since Unai Emery arrived.
