Antonio Conte is impressed with how Arsenal backed Arteta.

The Spurs manager is amazed by Arsenal’s transfer business over the summer and believes Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko are very good signings.

The Gunners are leading the Premier League table with Spurs only a point behind them.

The North London derby is set to take place at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.

“I think if I see what happened at Arsenal, they’re a club who backed Arteta over the years,” Conte told football.london.

“And you’re seeing when you trust a person, and Arsenal showed this also in a tough period with Arteta, backing him in every moment, now they’re having good results.

“Last season, don’t forget they were in the Champions League [places] in the last three games. They had a good step.

“They made good signings, especially Jesus and Zinchenko from a club like Manchester City, two players that are used to winning and having a winning mentality.

“It’s important because I can see they’ve improved the level. Not only the quality but the mentality at Arsenal.

“I think they’re doing a good job. In my opinion it’s always very very important to go together, with the coach and the club.”
