The 20-year-old Gunners midfielder has started both games in the Premier League this season for Unai Emery's side
Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock has paid tribute to his ‘mentor’ Freddie Ljungberg and credited the Gunners legend for his rapid progress during the past 12 months.
This time last year there were few who would have predicted that Willock would be anywhere near the Arsenal first-team, with several players seemingly well ahead of him in the pecking order.
But on Saturday he started a home game in the Premier League for the first time, playing the full 90 minutes as Unai Emery’s side backed up their opening day win at Newcastle with a 2-1 success against Burnley.
