Alex Iwobi

Alex Iwobi will start his third straight Premier League match for Arsenal today at West Ham with manager Arsene Wenger again singing the praise of the Nigeria youngster.

He will play behind England striker Danny Welbeck.

It is a game Arsenal must win to stay in hot chase of league leaders Leicester.

Iwobi has scored in his first two league starts for the London Gunners, against Everton and Watford.

“He is remarkable, he has made big improvements between when he was 18 and 19,” an impressed Wenger remarked.

Arsenal are to soon offer him a new bumper season because “I wish to keep him longer” at the club said the manager.

"He is a big find," saluted former Arsenal star Don Hutchinson.

"He's looked special. He's given Arsenal a spark for somebody so young," added another ex-Arsenal ace Kevin Campbell.
