Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he has been impressed with the development of Alex Iwobi but says that he still has work to do to establish himself as a first-team regular.
Iwobi has performed well since being introduced into the senior setup with the Gunners but after netting just twice in a total of 33 appearances, Wenger has acknowledged that he still needs to improve his finishing.
The Frenchman told reporters: "You can see that he is not a typical winger. I think he can play in the number 10 role. He turns the game forward, he passes the ball through the lines very well, he has a final ball in him. I think he has it all in the locker to pass and give the final ball.
"What you want from him now is the finishing and that is still a little part that is missing in his game. He is too nervous at the moment when he has the possibility to finish."
The 20-year-old has not scored in his last 17 games in all competitions.
