Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina has identified Alex Iwobi as the most skillful player within the Super Eagles squad. Aina has been a member of the Nigerian national team since 2017, earning 40 caps over his international career. 

He has chosen to overlook other talented players like Samuel Chukwueze and Ademola Lookman in his assessment of skill within the team.

“Alex Iwobi is the most skilful player on the team.

“If you’re going to say Samuel Chukwueze, he has the body movement, but we are talking about skills,” Aina said on the Counter Attack podcast.

Iwobi, who debuted for the national team in 2015, currently plays for Fulham and is enjoying a successful season, having scored two goals and provided one assist in nine matches.
