Ian Wright credits three Arsenal players for Mikel Arteta’s revival

The Gunners began the season with three consecutive defeats in the league but now look to have turned a corner, going unbeaten in their last eight games.

Arsenal now sit fifth in the Premier League table, six points adrift of leaders Chelsea, and only look to be getting better.

Aaron Ramsdale has played an integral part in between the sticks with Arteta choosing their summer signing over Bernd Leno as his No.1.

And Arsenal legend Wright feels Ramsdale, along with Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes forming a solid partnership at the back, have helped the team find stability.

‘I love the fact even with Benjamin White when he’s coming out and he said: ‘I don’t watch much football, I just play football’,’ he said on the Kelly and Wrighty Show.

‘I love the fact that he’s brave enough and strong enough to admit that because he can deal with what comes with that.

‘But when you look at his performances next to Gabriel, it’s very solid with the goalkeeper. It’s a very good team, those three are very solid.

‘They’re footballing centre-halves – into Thomas Partey, into [Albert] Sambi Lokonga.
