Paul Merson has praised Mikel Arteta, saying the way he removed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal has been the catalyst to the Gunners' unbeaten start to this season.
An Arsenal legend with 12 years of service to the club, Merson has seen their history, and has drawn parallels between the current incumbent and the management style of George Graham in the 1980s and 1990s.
Aubameyang left Arsenal in acrimonious circumstances in the middle of last season, moving to Barcelona, before returning to London earlier this week with a transfer deadline day switch to Chelsea.
