When asked which young Arsenal player fans should be watching out for, Ramsey told UEFA: “Alex Iwobi,
I think.

“He is very gifted and has great feet so I am sure he will be one to look out for in the future.”
Iwobi did not have much of an opportunity to grab the attention during the loss to Wednesday, but injuries to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott in that game mean he could get another chance to impress sooner than expected.
Manager Arsene Wenger admitted that Iwobi, the cousin of former
Nigeria star Jay-Jay Okocha, could be an option for the weekend's
Premier League game against Swansea as he looks at his attacking alternatives in wake of those injuries.
"[Joel] Campbell and Alex Iwobi [could play out right],” Wenger said. “Santi [Cazorla] can play there as well but he has become very important centrally.
"The problem sometimes is that you can destroy two departments
if you move one player out. We control the ball better with Santi in the
middle."
