Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina has named Alex Iwobi as the most skillful player in the Nigerian senior national team, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Aina, a veteran of 40 caps since his 2017 debut, overlooked other talented teammates like Samuel Chukwueze and Ademola Lookman.
"Alex Iwobi is the most skillful player on the team," Aina stated on the Counter Attack podcast. "If you're going to say Samuel Chukwueze, he has the body movement, but we are talking about skills."
Aina's endorsement comes as Iwobi enjoys a strong season with Fulham, contributing two goals and one assist in nine appearances.
Iwobi, a Super Eagles mainstay since 2015, has consistently demonstrated his technical ability, earning Aina's admiration.
