With this former Blues failure rejoining the team and now outperforming Iwata at his present employment, Birmingham might be laughing even harder in the midfield positions.
The former midfielder for Birmingham is presently excelling Iwata.
The guy in question is Daniel Crowley, a former Gunners junior player who was once predicted to be a great star in North London. His name may sound familiar to Arsenal supporters as much as it does to those with ties to the League One table toppers.
In addition to boasting six goals from 36 appearances for the U21s, the 5’9″ midfielder would never play for his former employers at the senior level. In 2016, Arsene Wenger praised Crowley as a “special” talent while he was still a member of the Premier League’s top teams.
After being released by Arsenal, he struggled and became something of a vagrant while playing in the Netherlands until Birmingham offered him a chance to return to the English game in 2019.
With just two goals and five assists in 45 games at St. Andrew’s, the attacking midfielder’s time away from the comforts of the Emirates would prove to be another lacklustre tenure before he left at the end of his contract in the summer of 2021.
