Calum Chambers reacts to his impressive Arsenal goal
If you can play in different positions I think it benefits you.
Calum Chambers is comparing himself to Cristiano Ronaldo following his stunning goal in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Burnley, claims Alex Iwobi. He should play for England. “It’s the first season he trains with the top team and I think it would help him a lot to [stay and] see the quality of the players around him”.
“I have a hesitation about loaning him out because I think this guy could very quickly play”. And the fact that we are going to play the same team that we beat in the Wembley final of 2014 just seems to suggest that the Gunners are destined to make history in the oldest competition in football.
Iwobi pledged his future to Nigeria and has been capped twice by Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh after representing England at U-16, U-17 and U-18 levels. He can play on the left, on the right, behind the striker, even No. 9.
“He’s a boy who two years ago not many would have said, “This will be a good player”.
‘His decision-making is spot on. He always turns where you want him to turn and he plays the ball where you want him to play the ball.
If I scored a goal like that I’d be all over the place, I’d be excited.
Now while it may prove hard for youngsters to get into this Arsenal side now with Arsene Wenger having basically admitted this week that you don’t win with kids any more after a 3-0 drubbing earlier in the season at Sheffield Wednesday, we’re remaining positive while outlining five young Guns who may follow Iwobi into first team prominence next season.
But Alexis Sanchez, starting his first game since suffering injury last November, ultimately had the last say for the Gunners.
“I see him working every day so I know what he can do”.
