Tony Adams is full of praise for Mikel Arteta

Mikel Arteta has certainly made a statement as an Arsenal manager.

The club has drastically changed in philosophy and mentality since his arrival and former club legend Tony Adams has praised the Spaniard for his work at the Emirates.

‘He [Arteta] has got fantastic ability to work with this team,’ Adams told Stadium Astro (via the Metro).

‘He puts hours into the training pitch. He’s his own man, if [Mesut] Ozil’s not in his thinking, he’s out, it’s as simple as that.

‘I can’t speak highly enough of the guy. The words coming out [of the club], when I talk to my mate Steve Bould who’s still in the club taking the Under-23s at the moment.

‘He said to me, “This guy has got it all, he’s the governor”.

‘He’s the best he’s seen in a long time.

‘He really does understand the game, he expresses himself; he’s very confident. It’s his first job, for God’s sake, he’s doing a remarkable, remarkable job.’

Arteta took over towards the end of last year and as he nears his one year anniversary as Arsenal boss, the Gunners have won the FA Cup, beaten the likes of United, Liverpool, Chelsea and City!
