Alex Iwobi

Alex Iwobi is the sort of midfielder connoisseurs appreciate more than casual fans. He came through Arsenal, won the 2017 FA Cup, then carved out a durable Premier League career via Everton and Fulham, all on work rate and intelligent passing rather than highlight-reel flash. Being the nephew of the legendary Jay-Jay Okocha adds a lovely thread of footballing lineage. That he also makes music tells me he has a restless creative streak off the pitch. I rate players who keep contributing quietly in central areas, and Iwobi's sheer staying power in England's top flight is the best evidence of his understated quality.
