Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has paid teammate Alex Iwobi an incredible compliment, comparing the young Nigerian to his uncle Jay-Jay Okocha and Dutch legend Edgar Davids, writes James Whaling.
Ozil and Iwobi have struck up an understanding since the 20-year-old Nigerian broke into the Gunners' first team on a regular basis.
“He reminds me of his uncle, Jay-Jay Okocha,” Ozil told Arsenal Player. “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 knows exactly what he can do. He isn’t scared and doesn’t hide on the pitch. He just wants to have fun playing football and that really shows on the pitch, and also in training."
