To mark the 52nd birthday of their former player Paul Merson on March 20, the official website of Arsenal, arsenal.com listed the club's top-five chance creators in the Premier League since 2010.

Nigeria international Alex Iwobi was among the top five chance creators in his last two seasons with the Gunners.

For the 2017-2018 season, the Hale End Academy product ranked joint-fourth along with Alexandre Lacazette with 36 chances created, behind Mesut Ozil (84), Alexis Sanchez (51) and Granit Xhaka (39).

Last season, the Super Eagles star finished joint second alongside Xhaka with 40 chances created, five less than the top man Ozil, but ahead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (33), Alexandre Lacazette (31) and Sead Kolasinac (31).

Iwobi spent three full seasons with the Arsenal first team before swapping the Emirates Stadium for Goodison Park last summer on deadline day for a Nigerian transfer record.

The 23-year-old appeared in 100 Premier League matches for the north London club the last of which came against Burnley on the final day of the 2018-2019 campaign, scoring eleven goals in total.
