“You shouldn’t forget Arsenal  (in the title race),” Ferguson told Kicker.“The team is more sturdy. They’ve got better and more aggressive. I’m impressed with the young boy Alex Iwobi.”Meanwhile, Alex Iwobi has sensationally revealed he could have joined West Ham.The Nigerian starlet is enjoying a fine season this term and is revelling with more first team football.But it could’ve all been so different.“Arsenal and West Ham were interested in me and Chuba  (Akpom), so we were training with both clubs for three years,” he told the Express.“I decided to sign for Arsenal because I supported them back then and I always saw them as the bigger club ”“ no disrespect to West Ham.”
