Arsenal FC news: Arsene Wenger praises ‘dangerous’ Alex Iwobi

Arsene Wenger has heaped praise on young Arsenal star Alex Iwobi after their 4-1 victory over Hull City at the KCOM Stadium.

The Nigerian, 20, broke into the first-team last season and has continued to impress this season, grabbing two assists against the Tigers.

And his manager was more than pleased with Iwobi’s progression in recent months.

“He has a presence in the game now,” said Wenger.

“Going forward he’s absolutely dangerous every single time. He plays well through the lines and breaks them with the ball at his feet.

“Overall his confidence is higher. His physical power has a big impact too.”

And, in terms of team performances, Wenger has insisted he side are getting stronger as the campaign goes on.

He added: “[Last weekend] we won in the last minute against Southampton. We got a good 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain and we came [to Hull] and won, so overall it’s been a very positive week.

“We are at a different level compared to a month ago and you can see that in our game. We knew at the start of the season we were a bit short physically but now we’re getting stronger.”
