Unai Emery has hailed Freddie Ljungberg, who became Arsenal boss' assistant this summer.
“He knows better than us every young player," said Emery.
"For example Robbie (Burton), I didn’t know. Freddie said to me he’s a good player to play more like a 6 or 8. Really he helped us.”
Robbie Burton is 19-year-old midfielder who plays for Arsenal U23. Last season he has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists in his 14 appearances.
Later Emery added that he wants to give youngsters a chance after Arsenal beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the International Champions Cup.
“Our responsibility in this club for the history, present and future is to give young players a chance," added Emery
"If they deserve minutes they'll get minutes. I’m very happy with them and their work."
