It has been quite some season for Matteo Guendouzi.
The teenager only joined us last summer, but has gone on to cement his place in our starting XI after a series of impressive displays - and he is delighted with his progress.
"When I came to Arsenal last year, we went in pre-season to Singapore and I knew it was important for me to show what I could do," he said.
"I knew I had to play well and I did play well at the time, so I got the confidence of the coach and the other players. Hopefully it will go on like that for a while.
"I’m a young player, so I have a lot of energy. I run for my teammates, I fight for my team and I play with my heart and give 150 per cent in every match - I give everything. That’s the secret I suppose [to my success so far]."
