Ex-Arsenal hero Bacary Sagna urges his old side not to rely too much on young stars like Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale to secure them success this season... because the huge 'pressure' can negatively affect their mental health

Bacary Sagna has warned his old side Arsenal not to put too much pressure on their young players in a bid to secure success in the Premier League this season.

The former defender spent seven years at the Emirates and is still a fan of the club, insisting he 'wasn't pleased' with the start they made to the current season.

Now they are on a 10-game unbeaten run - with the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka flying - but Sagna says you can't pile the pressure on players that young.
