Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists his squad carries plenty of leaders.

Arsenal have turned to youth in a clear transfer policy with all five new additions — among them Martin Odegaard and Ben White — from their £130million spree being 23 or under.

And Arteta insisted the development of some of his other younger players — such as Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe last season — is proof he has the right support network in his dressing room.

"I think the best way to do it is to ask the young players," said Arteta, whose side are pointless after two games, and travel to champions Manchester City on Saturday.

"They live that situation every day. And when you see the evolvement they have had in the last year or so it's thanks to those players who are constantly helping them and giving them support, encouragement, telling them how good they are and how much they are helping the team — so probably that question is better for them."
