Former Arsenal star Francis Coquelin has opened up on his time at the Gunners, and praised former teammates Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil. The midfielder, now playing under Unai Emery at Villarreal, joined Arsenal in 2008, and made 160 appearances for the club.
Despite a near 10-year stay in north London, Coquelin failed to nail down a regular place in the Gunners side and was sent out on loan a number of times. In January 2018 he signed for Valencia, but it's fair to say the FA Cup winner has fond memories of playing under Arsene Wenger.
“It was amazing!” he told So Foot, as reported by the Evening Standard. “I was playing with Santi Cazorla and Mesut Özil in front of me. I could send them rubbish balls, and they controlled them with ease.
