Alex Iwobi says Jack Wilshere's ‘no-touch turn’ is a move that Arsenal's youth players try to replicate.

The England international came on as a second-half substitute against Sunderland on Sunday for his first appearance of the season.

"He doesn’t even need to touch the ball, he just shields it with his body and turns away from defenders with ease" Alex Iwobi

Wilshere’s ability to step away from opposing players was quickly in evidence, and Iwobi says he is an “inspiration” to the younger players at the club.

“He’s brilliant on the ball, he’s able to find space and he’s the master of the no-touch turn,” Iwobi told the Arsenal matchday programme.

“He doesn’t even need to touch the ball, he just shields it with his body and turns away from defenders with ease. It’s something that us youth team players used to watch and then try in training.

“He’s a big inspiration for us. A couple of times in training we used to get together and practise the 'Jack Wilshere turn', but nobody can do it as well as he can!”
