Using Alex Iwobi and other academy graduates will remain Arsenal's basis of philosophy, according to Arsene Wenger.
On the back of using the Nigeria international alongside midfielder Jack Wilshere, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Hector Bellerin against Newcastle on Saturday, the gaffer utilised Joe Willock and substitutes Reiss Nelson, Ben Sheaf and Josh Dasilva in their League Cup win over West Ham United.
And Wenger believes that it is their belief in young talents what stand them apart from other big teams.
“On Saturday [against Newcastle], we played with four players who have been educated here: Iwobi, Wilshere, Maitland-Niles and Bellerin,” Wenger told club website.
