Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka is very pleased with the coaching of Freddie Ljungberg.

The former Gunners midfielder has been serving as the club's under-23 coach. He will now join the first team as an assistant to Unai Emery.

And Saka, who is one of the most promising players in the Arsenal academy, says the Swede is acting as a communicator between Emery and the young players.

Saka said to reporters: "From the U15s, I worked with him. It has been a long journey but I feel like we both deserve it.

"Freddie helps Unai know who we are, tells him our strengths and weaknesses and comes to us individually and tells us what we need to do from Unai.

"Unai does not have to speak to us directly, Freddie comes to us and tells us what we need to do. It makes the transition from the academy to the first team much smoother."
