Alex Iwobi : Wilshere Is A Big Inspiration For Us
Published: April 25, 2016
Alex Iwobi has revealed that several youngsters in Arsenal ranks try to
imitate Jack Wilshere’s ‘no-touch turn’ move during training.
The 24-year-old Wilshere appeared for the first time in the Premier League this season in the Gunners’ goalless draw with Sunderland after recovering from an injury that he picked up during pre-season training.
“He’s brilliant on the ball, he’s able to find space and he’s the master of the no-touch turn,” Iwobi told the Arsenal matchday programme, according to arsenal.com.
“He doesn’t even need to touch the ball, he just shields it with his body and turns away from defenders with ease. It’s something that us youth team players used to watch and then try in training.
“He’s a big inspiration for us. A couple of times in training we used to get together and practise the ‘Jack Wilshere turn’, but nobody can do it as well as he can!”
Iwobi was substituted before Wilshere stepped out onto the Stadium of Light pitch on Sunday afternoon.
