3 players who have impressed for Arsenal so far this season

Arsenal v West Ham United - Premier League
Unai Emery's men have won two games out of four so far

#1 Matteo Guendouzi

Chelsea v Arsenal - Premier League
Matteo Guendouzi has endeared himself to the fans with his work rate and bravery

When Unai Emery brought in a 19-year-old Matteo Guendouzi for £7 million in the summer, the Frenchman was considered one for the future by fans and pundits alike. However, he has become only the fourth Arsenal teenager to have started the first four games of a Premier League season.

With many expecting the headline grabbing arrival of the summer - Lucas Torreira to start, Emery caused quite a stir by opting to start Guendouzi against the defending champions Manchester City.

The teenager put in a fearless shift at the base of the midfield, and went on to complete the full ninety minutes against Manchester City and Chelsea, a remarkable feat considering he was playing in the French second division months ago.

There were moments where his inexperience came to the fore like when he allowed Raheem Sterling far too easily score the opening goal. His positioning was suspect in the latter two games against West Ham United and Cardiff City.

But having made more tackles and interceptions than any other midfielder at Arsenal along with his quality passing range, the Frenchman has certainly endeared himself to the Arsenal faithful with plenty of heart and industry.
