Arsenal ace Mesut Ozil has showered praise on Alex Iwobi, stating that the Nigeria international reminds him of his uncle Austin Okocha, who played for <span>Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany before hanging up his boots. <br /><br />The 20-year-old has established himself as a first team regular at the Emirates after breaking into the quad in the second half of last season. <br /><br />&ldquo;He reminds me of his uncle Jay-Jay Okocha. He was a player I loved watching.&rdquo; Ozil told the Sun UK. <br /><br />&nbsp;&ldquo;Alex reminds me of a mixture of him and Edgar Davids. He&rsquo;s really strong on the ball, also defensively, but he&rsquo;s good in front of goal too.&rdquo;<br /><br /></span><span>Mesut &ouml;zil was eight years old and playing for the youth team of </span>Westfalia 04 Gelsenkirchen when Okocha left <span>Eintracht Frankfurt to join Fenerbahce in 1996.<br /><br />The dribbling wizard, who played at three World Cups, also turned out for Borussia Neunkirchen in Germany.<br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br /></span><span>Photo Credit : Twitter.com </span><br />
