Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has raved about Aston Villa attacking midfielder Jack Grealish on the club’s official website.
Arteta believes that Grealish, who can also operate as a winger, is a top player and can make the difference in a game at any moment.
The Arsenal boss made the comments about the England international ahead of the Premier League game between the two sides this weekend.
The Gunners will take on Villa at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday evening.
Arteta told Arsenal’s official website about Grealish: “He is a top player, great talent, he is player who can make a difference at any moment in the game.
“He has this personality against any opponent, at any ground, to take the ball in any area of the pitch and he can make the difference, so we have to look after him.”
Big player for Aston Villa
Grealish is one of the better attacking players in the Premier League, and his importance in Dean Smith’s side cannot be undermined.
The 25-year-old is the creator-in-chief for Villa, and he will be a key figure in the Villans’ quest to win against Arsenal this weekend.
According to WhoScored, Grealish has scored four goals and provided four assists in six Premier League matches for Villa so far this season.
During the 2019-20 campaign, the 25-year-old scored eight goals and provided six assists in 36 league games for the Villans, according to Whoscored.
