Arsenal roundup- Ozil praises Iwobi, Wenger gets backing of ex-players and more interesting stories 1

German star Mesut Ozil has praised young Alex Iwobi who has been performing consistently for the club in the recent weeks.

“He reminds me of his uncle, Jay-Jay Okocha,” Ozil said. “He was a player I loved watching.

“Alex reminds me of a mixture of him and Edgar Davids. He’s really strong on the ball, also defensively, but he’s good in front of goal too.

“He’s developing really well and if he continues the way he’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.”
