Iwobi rates high amongst attacking midfielders in the EPL.- Femi Fabunmi
In a chat with Legit.ng Femi Fabunmi, a sports analyst, gave his view on Alex Iwobi's field performance.
in his words:
"Iwobi earned a place in the Super Eagles team due to his creativity and heroics. At the moment, he is the most creative Nigerian player. His defensive abilities might have been called to question at the last AFCON but he rates high amongst attacking midfielders in the EPL.
"For instance, Amokachi's twin boys also play football but they have not been able to make any of the national teams because they are being considered not good enough at the moment. Iwobi earned a place in the Super Eagles because he deserved it not for any other reason.."
