West Ham United boss David Moyes only has positive words for his former player and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

Moyes and Arteta have a history together, with the latter playing for Moyes at Everton for many seasons, before eventually moving to Arsenal.

Moyes is now excelling at West Ham, while Arteta is working hard to push Arsenal up the Premier League table.

Asked about Arteta as a manager, Moyes told the club's website: "I did see those leadership qualities at Everton and I saw a little bit of the single-mindedness as well that he knew what he wanted and what he thought he would like. So it's not a surprise [to see him do well]. He's worked under Pep, who he'd have taken loads of information from and looked at how he develops a team and he was a really good footballer himself.

"He'd be able to put a lot of information into the players and I think he's made a good start to his Arsenal career. He's done very well, got a couple of trophies under his belt, is building a new team there and that's not easy for a young manager."
