Bayern Munich ace Leroy Sane has hailed Arsenal's appointment of Mikel Arteta and detailed how the Spaniard helped him develop his game.
The Germany international worked under Arteta during his time at Manchester City, when the Gunners boss was Pep Guardiola's assistant, and he had a huge influence on his development.
Sane sealed a move to Bayern this summer, following a lengthy chase from the Bundesliga side, and it's been made clear how Arteta helped him initially at City.
That has now been relayed by the Independent's Melissa Reddy, who has shared what Sane told her about Arteta during a recent interview.
"I interviewed Leroy Sane recently and asked him about Mikel Arteta because he was a massive influence on him at Man City," she told the Kelly and Wrighty show.
"Sane said 'he was the one who pulled me aside and gave me the tactical tweaks to better my game but, more important than that, he understood I was a very young player coming with a lot of expectations'.
"Coming to a new country, with a different culture, a different language, at a club where success is just expected because of the money and such.
"On a psychological and personal level, he really helped, he was so invested in Sane becoming a better player, growing as a person.
"He said 'Arsenal have made a great decision for the success of the club and the health of the club, the health of the players involved."
