#5 Alex Iwobi (Nigeria)
The 22-year old has been tipped to be a success at Russia despite an unconvincing season with Arsenal where he had his ups and downs and faced heavy criticism from the fans. Regardless of all the hate, the Nigerians will be hopeful Alex Iwobi can take the Super Eagles to similar heights like his uncle and fellow legend Jay-Jay Okacha did.

You could say Iwobi lacks experience at the International stage but he has started big games for Arsenal in the past 2 years with Arsene Wenger trusting him in critical match situations and therefore, looks set to be a hit in Russia.
They have a tough group with the likes of Argentina and Croatia, but if they play as a unit and their stars produce the big match moments then they could progress into the last 16 and the latter stages of the tournament against all odds. They will, however, need to better the record set by Okacha and his teammates of a last 16 finish if they are to mount a serious challenge on the road to Russia.
