Today he had an assist, which was an important moment, and he had some good moments off the left – and also trying to play as a No 9 as well.” Mikel Arteta told Arsenal’s official website.

With Kieran it’s a little bit different. Those relationships are ones we have to built. If there are any doubts, I love Gabi so much. More than all of you together!”
