Iwobi believes working with world-class player like Mkihitaryan will help him shine for Nigeria

Arsenal player Alex Iwobi has told reporters that working with talented players at the club especially Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil will help him shine for Nigeria in World Cup 2018. The Super Eagles face Croatia in their opening group game in Kaliningrad on June 16, before taking on tournament debutants Iceland and Lionel Messi’s Argentina, who lost in the final four years ago. Iwobi believes that the experience he gained while working with such world-class players as  Mkhitaryan and Ozil will help him finally surprise everyone and upset the odds when they meet the South American giants in St Petersburg. “The fact I’ve been training with world-class players every day has given me a bit of experience, so I’ll know what to expect in Russia. The intensity I train at with Arsenal is very high, so I’m preparing in a good way. I feel like I can do well.” Iwobi proved the hero for Nigeria last October, when his goal against Zambia secured a 1-0 win for the Super Eagles and booked their berth at a third consecutive finals.
