Nigeria youngster, Alex Iwobi, has continued to earn plaudits from soccer enthusiasts across the globe.
Iwobi, 20, has been outstanding since he broke into the Arsenal first team around a year ago.
His latest admirer is none other than legendary ex-Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson.
The 74-year-old, who undoubtedly is the greatest manager in Premier League history, believes the Gunners are in with a shot at the title, even though his money is one of his fiercest rivals.
“It’s harder to predict than it was for many years,” the Scot told Kicker on Thursday.
“I think there are five potential candidates: Manchester City as favourites, Tottenham and Liverpool, but also Man United are still there if we get some consistency soon.
“Even when you are trailing by six, eight points, it’s still possible to catch one or two teams.
“The rivalry and the experience of Guardiola and Mourinho makes for an exciting competition.
“And you shouldn’t forget Arsenal. The team is more sturdy. They’ve got better and more aggressive. I’m impressed with the young boy Alex Iwobi.”
Iwobi has featured seven times for Arsene Wenger’s side thus far in the league – contributing three goals.
Next up for the attacking midfielder is a trip to Sunderland on Saturday in the Premier League.
