Owen Hargreaves lauds Mikel Arteta for his impact at Arsenal.
The Gunners started off the season with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace last week.
Last season, they had the youngest squad in the Premier League and have made some impactful changes this summer.
Former England star Owen Hargreaves has praised several young players in the current Arsenal squad.
He labels Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli as ‘a breath of fresh air’.
“Mikel Arteta is doing a good job and they have a good base,” Hargreaves said to Premier League Productions.
“They fell down at the crucial moments last season, that’s down to experience and older players. They don’t have any.
“But they have some of the best young ones in the game. Odegaard is fantastic. Martinelli is a breath of fresh air. Saka is amazing. Smith Rowe is great. Gabriel Jesus looks like a class player. And Saliba was Man of the Match against Crystal Palace.
“They have got a lot of really good young players and I like what Arsenal are building.”
