The French defender has hit the ground running since returning from a loan spell with Marseille this summer. Speaking to the press, Arteta said that he was never in doubt about the player's abilities. "I was straight away really impressed the first few days when he got back in pre-season, and we could see how much he had developed, but obviously to put training sessions and friendly matches into this league, that is a completely different task.

Gunners won t win league says Paddy Kenny Paddy Kenny reckons Arsenal will not win the Premier League this season. Arteta's wards are second in the league, behind Manchester City, having played a game less. Speaking to Football Insider, Kenny tipped City to successfully defend their title. "I’m convinced Man City will win it easily; I’m sorry to say. I do think Arsenal have progressed massively from last season. We can all see that, but a top-four finish, for me, has to be the aim for them this season," said Kenny. He continued: “Get back in the Champions League, and go from there. It’s progress. I think they will, with the way things are going at the minute, they are top-four contenders. For the title, I’m sorry to say, the brutal truth is I just can’t look past Man City. It’s a long old season, and I can’t see past them." Kenny added that the Gunners have progressed well this season. “Fair play to Arsenal, they have had a comfortable start to the season. Bar the Man United match, which they lost, (and) the Tottenham game was their biggest test, and they have passed it. They have more steel in them this year. It’s about progression, and they are progressing," said Kenny. Arteta has lost just once this season, coming up second best against Manchester United last month.
