Emery hails Iwobi’s impact against Watford.

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery has hailed the impact of Alex Iwobi after the player came off the bench against Watford to a win against the Hornets at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League. And sports247.ng can report that while Aaron Ramsey’s troubles deepen, Alex Iwobi’s fine start to the season continues.

Having replaced Ramsey midway through the second half, Iwobi transformed Arsenal as an attacking threat and was a huge influence on the win.

His introduction allowed Mesut Ozil to operate more centrally, but more importantly he started to push Watford back with his direct running style and incisive bursts forward. Iwobi looks a player reborn under Emery.

He is performing as well right now as he ever has in an Arsenal shirt and he deserves a run in the side. Arsenal look a far more balanced team when he is on the pitch.
