In his programme notes as captain of the club before their 2-0 win over Everton in a Premier League encounter.
Koscielny praised Iwobi after he was hailed on Twitter for his performance in the Europa League 4-2 win over Vorskla Poltava in which he put in a man of the match performance.
He said, “He has huge potential and he needs to realize how good he could become,” Koscielny wrote in his programme notes ahead of Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Everton.
“Right now, he is definitely on the right path to do just that. He is working hard at training and his confidence is high since Unai Emery arrived.”
Iwobi has stated that he is sharper under new manager Emery and Koscielny also echoed the sentiments of his teammate and stated that he should continue to listen to instructions.
“He is very receptive and listens to advise so I have no doubt that he will continue his progression.”
Iwobi is expected to return to action for the Gunners when they take on Brentford on Wednesday, September 26.
