Alex Iwobi won Man of the Match for his performance against Chelsea during Arsenal’s 3-0 win on Saturday.

The forward was characteristically modest on social media, arguing that there could have been other players deserved of the award considering how well they all played. However, he did say that he was grateful.

The 20-year-old has a brilliant head on his shoulders at such a young age. He doesn’t appear to be letting his rapid rise affect his demeanor and if anything he’s improving by the match. His display against Chelsea was energetic, mature and effective.

When I look at Twitter during or after matches where Iwobi has featured, people are genuinely excited about his quality. It’s not like certain other players who have the potential but haven’t quite reached it, with Iwobi, it’s already showing itself and the fact he appears to still be improving is amazing.

I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the Nigeria international and I’m sure neither can he.
