Roy Hodgson could have missed out by not moving to secure Alex Iwobi as a full England international, according to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

The 19-year-old, born in Lagos, Nigeria, played for England at youth level before declaring his allegiance for the Super Eagles last year.

"He plays for Nigeria now, and he should play for England," he said.

"I think he has shown everybody that he is a good football player again. I find him personally very interesting because his decision making is spot on and his awareness is very interesting.

"I like the timing of the decision making and the quality of his decision making. He always turns when you want him to turn and he plays the ball where you want him to play the ball. It is very interesting."
