Alex Iwobi recently took part in a Twitter Takeover with FourFourTwo in which he tipped life-long friend, Chuba Akpom, as the next youth player to break through into the Arsenal first team.

Akpom had a brilliant pre-season with Arsenal, scoring several goals and generally looking like a far more complete striker than he did this time last term. Unfortunately for him, he recently picked up a back injury, which has kept him sidelined for a couple of weeks.

Until this point, he was on the fringe of our first team and in Premier League 2, he’s already scored three goals in two appearances.

Akpom and Iwobi have been friends since the age of three and the Nigeria international believes his pal is definitely one to watch next season.
