FORMER Arsenal goalkeeper, Jens Lehmann, has said he is impressed with Super Eagles of Nigeria player Alex Iwobi's improvement since joining Everton.

Alex Iwobi who is a product of Hale End left the Gunners to find greener pasture at Everton, At first it was a bumpy ride, but the player has now gone ahead to stamp himself as an important part of the team.

"Iwobi is a serious Premier League player now," Lehmann said to allnigeriasoccer.com.

"When he was there at Arsenal he was a youngster and was developing and understanding the Premier League so he did not play always but he was very creative.

"Sometimes he was doing things we didn't expect. Now he's playing for Everton and I hope they are staying up."

Iwobi who played in the last ten matches by Everton in the Premier League will return to Emirate Stadium when Arsenal welcomes Everton in what could be the match of the season.
