Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has raved about his manager Mikel Arteta on LADbible TV.
Saka, who can play as a midfielder, winger or left-back, is a big fan of Arsenal manager Arteta.
The England international has described the Spaniard, who earns £5 million per year (Goal), as a genius.
The 20-year-old has added that Arteta can outsmart opposition managers.
What Bukayo Saka has said
Saka said about Arteta on LADbible TV., as transcribed by The Daily Mail: “Tactically, he’s [Arteta] quite a genius.
“I would say, I think tactically he, he’s good at really outsmarting other teams and he always knows how, how it was best to get out in terms of playing out the back.
“And how best to suppress them and, I think as players, that really helps you go into games prepared and knowing what you have to do to win, basically.”
Mikel Arteta is a rising managerial star
Arteta is a very young manager.
After all, the Spaniard is only 39.
And, let’s not forget, Arteta was appointed as the Arsenal manager only in December 2019.
The Spaniard was working as a coach at Manchester City prior to that.
Yes, there have been some tough times at Arsenal under Arteta.
Arsenal were really poor at times last season and had a disappointing Premier League campaign.
However, things are going great at the moment.
Arsenal are challenging for the Champions League places in the Premier League table this season.
In our view, Arteta has all the markings of becoming a great manager.
City boss Pep Guardiola rates him.
Arsenal have a very young team, and it takes times for a young manager to get his points across.
In our opinion, Arteta is doing a very good job at Arsenal, and fans should keep faith in him.
