Ian Wright has made the bold claim that Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side would benefit from having someone like Everton star Alex Iwobi in their team.
The Toffees talent is of course a former Gunners figure himself, graduating from the club's famed Hale-End academy into the first-team where he made an impressive 149 appearances under both Arsene Wenger and Unai Emery. It is the latter manager that Wright appears to imply made a mistake in letting Iwobi leave North London.
In the summer of 2019, the Nigerian international was sold by Arsenal to Everton for a reported fee of £35million - a figure that certainly raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike. However, under Toffees boss Frank Lampard Iwobi has enjoyed a change of role that has seen him go from being a wide-forward to a more central-midfield figure.
