Iwobi made his Premier League debut for Arsenal in the corresponding fixture last season and Wenger is impressed with his development.

"He is more and more comfortable in the team," Arsenal manager told the club’s official website.

"But I think Alex Iwobi, above all his talent, is a guy who has a fantastic team attitude.

"He is gaining in confidence as well. You could see overall that he develops very well. If he keeps that kind of spirit he has at the moment, he can go much higher up. That's my wish."

Iwobi has two league goals for Arsenal in 17 games.
