He told Arsenal.com: "What you see on the touchline is what you get day to day here. He wears his heart on his sleeve and plays the game with us.

"We’ve got a set of players here who really admire his work. As a person, he’s like a mentor as well as a manager. His door is always open to go and talk to him.

Thomas Partey's injury woes have continued with news he has suffered a recurrence of a problem.
"With Thomas unfortunately we had a little setback a few days ago,” Arteta revealed in a press conference.
"He’s not going to be available in the squad for Liverpool. We don’t know if it’s a few days or weeks. He felt something in a very similar area and he wasn’t able to train the last few days.
"It is a big concern because he was such an important player for us. He was getting some momentum at the start of the season and then we lost him for a while. Now we have been a long time without him.

“I think it’s been really good, a huge positive,” he told the club website.

I’ve done really well in doing that so far but there’s still such a long way to go, I’m only six months into my Arsenal career so there’s still so much more to come, but I think it’s been a positive start.
“We’re a young squad and a young set of players who are hungry to learn, to win. Away from the pitch, we spend a lot of time together travelling around the country. We’re a great set of lads so it’s great to be around them.”

Arsenal face Liverpool on Sunday in a vital Premier League title clash.
The Gunners then face West Ham at the London Stadium and will be hoping to get revenge having lost twice to the Hammers already this season.
Sunday will mark the 200th league meeting between the teams – only against Everton (209) have Liverpool played more league games.
The Premier League title clash will kick off at 4:30pm at the Emirates.
And here are 5 stats you need to know about the game.
Albert Sambi Lokonga has "no future" at the Emirates, according to the Football Insider.
The Gunners are ready to let the 24-year-old go - who is currently on loan at Luton Town - in the summer.
Lokonga joined the Hatters on a season-long loan in September after failing to breakthrough in Mikel Arteta's first team.
The Belgian midfielder has not performed consistently under Rob Edward at Kenilworth Road.
He has made just 10 appearances across all competitions this season.
Jurgen Klopp has spoken out ahead of their Premier League title clash against Arsenal on Sunday.
The Reds are currently six points ahead of the Gunners who are desperate to win ahead to grow their lead in the table.
But Klopp thinks football fans are against his squad as he revealed his thoughts ahead of Liverpool's next match.
The next one is a massive one, a difficult one, Arsenal away.

"I'm pretty sure everybody, besides Liverpool supporters, thinks we could lose there"
Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been linked to becoming boss of Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen.
Wilshere has been head coach of the Gunners U18s side since July 2022.
But now he is prepared to leap up to first-team management as he seeks a switch north of the border.
According to The Daily Record, Wilshere has applied for the position after 18 months of experience managing Arsenal's youth side.
Earlier this week, Aberdeen sacked Barry Robson as the club sits eighth in the top flight and without a win in three games.
However, his lack of coaching time means the move could be "unlikely".
Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal’s current crop of youngsters are not at the level to make the first team.
Despite the boss revealing this week he was dealing with a paper-thin squad and an injury setback by Thomas Partey.
Arteta has called up the likes of Lino Sousa and Ruell Walters to the first-team squad recently but said he is unlikely to rely on them ahead of Sunday's clash against Liverpool.
He said: "First of all we need to produce those talents and they have to earn it and secondly they have to be in the positions that we need fulfilling.
"Everything has to come together and we are working on that. We have a few prospects which are not far away, but the reality is we want more.
"Today, to give the opportunities to play in the first team at the level required, we are a bit short."
Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas has said that Liverpool will want to win "so much more" on Sunday's crucial league title battle.
The 36-year-old said: "The Liverpool players will be so much on top of things and wanting it so much more because of that.
"I do believe there is an extra bit on Liverpool’s side to go and win it."
The Reds boss Jurgen Klopp announced last week he will be leaving Anfield at the end of the season.
But the Gunners have some ground to catch up on this weekend as they sit five points behind Klopp's men.
Mikel Arteta will not have Thomas Partey available for the Premier League clash against Liverpool.
The midfielder has not played fr four months and suffered another setback in training.
Arteta said: “With Thomas unfortunately we had a little setback a few days ago.
“It is a big concern because he was such an important player for us. He was getting some momentum at the start of the season and then we lost him for a while.
“Now we have been a long time without him. He gives you something very different and the only one who can give you this in the squad. He’s been a real miss.”
MIKEL ARTETA has told his Gunners to carry on rowing if they want title glory.
The Arsenal boss bizarrely made light of Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko’s furious midweek bust-up by joking they have now made up by “sharing wives”.
But Arteta says without his players pushing each other, their Premier League dreams will be confined to “Disneyland”.
If Arsenal beat table-toppers Liverpool on Sunday, they will move two points off them.
The Emirates blockbuster comes just five days after White and Zinchenko had to be pulled apart as they clashed over conceding a late goal in the 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest.
Asked if the defenders were friends again, Arteta quipped: “They have been in the same house the past few days — sharing wives and everything!
“It’s fine, they’re living together now. They are best mates.”
More seriously, Arteta added: “You don’t argue with someone if you don’t have a great relationship.
“You need the trust and chemistry with somebody to react the way they did.
“I love it. As long as it’s in a respectful way and with the intention to be more demanding as a team and it stays there.
“A conversation can get heated with emotion after the game. It’s normal.
“I want my players to have desire to be better and be demanding. If not, it’s Disneyland.”
Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Darwin Nunez is a doubt to face Arsenal on Sunday.
He said: “I don’t know if Darwin is available or not because after 20 minutes somebody stepped on his foot and it was very painful after the game.
“He only took his boot off after the game because he didn’t want to see it before, he knew there was something. So, he left the stadium in a boot, and it was not a football boot.
“So, nothing broke, X-ray clear, but [it is] swollen and we have to see if he can get his foot back into a boot or not because we all know that takes time. I did not see him this morning so we have to wait a little bit.”
Arsenal star Takehiro Tomiyasu has reportedly agreed on a new deal with the club.
TEAMtalk have claimed that the Japanese defender has committed his future to the Gunners.
The report states that the details of the deal will be announced when he is back from the Asian Cup.
Mikel Arteta has insisted that it was the “best decision” for Arsenal to sell high-rated youngster Lino Sousa.
He said: “It was a club decision and obviously he had a really particular situation with his contract.
“There’s been a lot of talk about it and the club believe it was the best decision to do that and I supported that decision.”
AS Monaco star Vanderson has committed his future to the French club.
The Brazilian has put pen to paper on a new contract running until June 2028
The defender has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Barcelona.
Mikel Arteta has insisted that Arsenal's lack of business in the transfer window was down to there not being the right player in the market.
He said: "Maybe there is not a player in the market that can really make a difference or the impact you need.
"If you’re able to recruit him."
