Alex Iwobi is a blend of Okocha and Edgar Davids – Ozil

Arsenal midfield maestro Mesut Ozil has described Super Eagles striker, Alex Iwobi, as the perfect blend of Jay-Jay Okocha and Edgar Davids. Iwobi, 20, has been in great form in the opening weeks of the season with three assists so far this season.

โ€˜Alex reminds me of a mixture of him (Okocha) and Edgar Davids,โ€™ Ozil said in Arsenalโ€™s match day programme. โ€˜Heโ€™s really strong on the ball, also defensively, but heโ€™s good in front of goal too. โ€˜Heโ€™s developing really well and if he continues the way heโ€™s been playing for the whole season, he will enhance his game.

The manager knows exactly how good he is and I wish him all the best,โ€ he added. Meanwhile, Alex Iwobi, says he has put behind his absence from the football event of the Rio Olympics describing it as a blessing in disguise. โ€œI would like to have played in the Olympics but doing that would have been a big setback for me,โ€ Iwobi told theLondon Evening Standard.

โ€œIf I had gone, I would have missed a couple of Arsenal games at least and the boss [Arsene Wenger] didnโ€™t want that. I wish I did go but at the end of the day I did what the boss wanted and I am happy to be where I am. If I had gone, I might not be where I am now.โ€
