Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaks about Chelsea coach Graham Potter

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was asked ahead of the Premier League clash against Chelsea whether Graham Potter is underrated as a manager. Arteta replied by saying (via football.london):

"I don’t. I hope they don’t. We have some exceptional young English coaches and we had a lot of coaches that did so much for this league, building a history in this league for the way the game has to be played, to keep certain special things that this league needs. English managers have prevented the changes being too dramatic and too quick, and the essence of English football still remains here."

He was further asked about the relationship between his centre-backs William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. Arteta said:

"Really good, really naturally. There is a connection, a personal connection first. You can feel it. There is chemistry. I think they make each other better with the qualities that they have, and I think they have been really really consistent in terms of their performance as well."

Arsenal will next play Potter's former side Brighon & Hove Albion at home in the EFL Cup on November 9.
