Why Arsenal Starlet Iwobi Voted For Kante To Win PFA Award Not Alexis, Hails Chelsea Star
Published: April 25, 2017
Alex Iwobi has praised Chelsea star N’Golo Kante after the Frenchman won the PFA Player of the Year award on Sunday.
The Nigerian international has admitted that the hardworking midfielder was his favourite to win the prestigious award, having voted for him.
“He’s someone that works for the team and even though he’s a Chelsea player, you have to respect what he does,” Iwobi told arsenal.com
“He works for the team and just runs non-stop - he’s got something every player would like to have. Every player would like to have him in their team.
“The engine, the energy he brings, the enthusiasm - he is my player of the season.”
Per PFA rules, Iwobi couldn’t have voted for Arsenal teammate Alexis Sanchez because he is not allowed to vote for a player that is at the same club as himself.
