He said: “We don’t have an offensive midfield player that can give the last pass to the strikers. We have great strikers, but we need someone that is missing.
“Iwobi can not play that position. He’s a good player, but he’s not doing as much as he’s supposed to as an offensive player.
“We have to look for that person in the centre of the field, who can give the last passes and score goals.
“In the defence and other parts, right and left midfield, we are good. We need someone like Jay-Jay Okocha, but it has to be somebody that can score more than him.”
