Alex Iwobi joined Arsenal with in 2015 and a lot was expected at the Emirates from the Nigerian youngster and while he has failed to set the stage alight, the immense potential he has still remains. Iwobi was a regular in Arsenal’s victorious FA Cup campaign of 2016-17 and his scored some crucial goals for the North London club.
On the international stage, Iwobi has done well for Nigeria in the limited opportunities he has got. His most notable performance in a Super Eagles shirt came last year in Nigeria’s 4-2 win over Argentina in an international friendly where the Arsenal forward scored a brace.
The two sides will meet again at the 2018 World Cup in a group which also contains Iceland and Croatia. It will be fun to see Iwobi’s performance.
