Who is the most skillful Super Eagles player? Ola Aina passes judgement

Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina has hailed Fulham star Alex Iwobi as the most skillful player in Nigeria’s Super Eagles squad, SportsRation reports.

Nigeria has a wealth of talented players across Europe, many of whom play in top leagues. Among these stars is Aina, who, with 40 caps since his debut in 2017, has closely observed the abilities of his teammates.

In a recent appearance on the Counter Attack podcast, Aina singled out Iwobi for his impressive skill level, comparing him to fellow Super Eagles teammate Samuel Chukwueze. “Alex Iwobi is the most skillful player on the team,” Aina noted. “If you’re going to say Samuel Chukwueze, he has the body movement, but we are talking about skills.”

Since making his Super Eagles debut in 2015, Iwobi has been a mainstay in the squad. When he first emerged, he was seen as a potential successor to his uncle, Jay-Jay Okocha, known for his flair on the field. Although Iwobi’s style has become more balanced over the years, he continues to make an impact for Fulham, where he has scored twice and registered an assist in nine appearances this season.
