Unai Emery names Arsenal player he "didn't know" until Freddie Ljungberg appointment

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."  via Mirror.
