Arsenal boss Emery excited by Maitland-Niles’ potential

By Daily Sports on May 26, 2018

Arsenal manager Unai Emery is very excited by the potential of the club’s youngsters, according to the club’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis.

While Emery has not had a chance to meet all of the Arsenal players, he is aware of everyone in the first team and U21s.

Gazidis was not only surprised at the football enthusiasm of Emery during his interview, but at how much the Spaniard knew about the club’s young players.

“What was really impressive was when you scratched the surface to go deeper and deeper and deeper,” he said to the Evening Standard.

“If we were speaking about one of our young players, if we targeted Ainsley Maitland-Niles for example, Unai knows Ainsley.

“He’s watched him, he’s familiar with his patterns of play, his capabilities, he’s very excited about his potential and was able to talk about how excited he was to work with Ainsley, to develop him as a player.

“Very specifically, when you asked the follow-up question and the follow-up question and the follow-up question, you’d get more and more depth about how exactly he would do that, exactly how him and his team would work with an individual player to develop them into the best player they can possibly be and also within the team dynamic.

“There are a lot of platitudes in the game of football, a lot, and people can speak at a surface level very easily to sound confident and impressive. What’s impressive to me is when you scratch through that and you get deeply involved in what exactly they mean.” (Tribal Football)
