Iwobi has been in fine form for the Gunners, winning the Man of the Match award in their 3-0 win over Chelsea a week ago.

The forward also started in Arsenal’s wins against Basel in the Champions League and Burnley.

Oliseh who first gave the forward a Super Eagles call-up in September 2015, believes he will one day be the best player from the continent of Africa.

“After the Tottenham Vs Man. City thriller,watching Burnley Vs. Arsenal.Glad to watch talented Alex Iwobi play.Potential African best player!,” Oliseh wrote on Twitter.

Oliseh who was Super Eagles coach between June 2015 and February 2016 moved quickly to invite Iwobi to the national team with England FA monitoring the youngster.
