Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Alex Iwobi's nerves are hurting his finishing ability.

The 20-year-old has made excellent progress in transitioning from Arsenal's academy to the first team in the past year, though he is yet to score in nine starts this season.

Wenger said, "You can see that he is not a typical winger. I think he can play in the No 10 role. He turns the game forward, he passes the ball through the lines very well, he has a final ball in him.

"I think he has it all in the locker to pass and give the final ball — what you want from him now is the finishing, and that's still a little part that is missing. He is too nervous at the moment when he has the possibility to finish."
