Arsenal v Watford - Premier League

Alex Iwobi is one of the most creative African young players at the moment. The way he handles the ball is highly remarkable. He is fast, he can pass, dribble, create chances and score goals. The Arsenal midfielder has been a very important member of Arsene Wenger's squad ever since breaking into the first team.

This season Iwobi has three appearances in the Premier League. He has also played in the UEFA Europa League once.

The Nigerian International has managed one goal and created 5 chances. He has completed 92 passes this term with a pass accuracy of 91%, out of which 57% have been forward passes. He is one of the most promising starlets rising from Africa and is going to prove himself in 2018 under the tutelage of Wenger.
