Some other comments however focused on praises for Coach Unai Emery for helping the Nigerian striker, who struggled to impress a long spell under Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal head coach Unai Emery deserves huge credit for the turnaround in the form of Alex Iwobi. I remember covering him play well at Barcelona v Arsenal in 2016 then scoring at Everton 72 hours later. A talent who lost his way badly. Amazing what a tougher training regime can do

There had been fears that the career of the skilful Iwobi, a cousin of Nigeria’s former midfield maestro, Jay Jay Okocha, could take a hit after former PSG coach, Unai Emery took the reins from Arsene Wenger as the helmsman at the North London club. The young attacker however seem to have rediscovered his blistering form under the Spanish gaffer.
