Arsenal Academy boss, Per Mertesacker, has said his job is to give manager Mikel Arteta selection headaches.
Speaking with Ian Wright on his YouTube channel, Mertesacker vowed to bring through youngsters that will have enough quality to play in the first team. Joe Willock, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson and Bukayo Saka are some of the youngsters making their marks this season under Arteta.“We are really keen on giving Mikel Arteta a lot of headaches, you know.
