Arsenal back-up keeper Matt Turner is full of praise for manager Mikel Arteta.

The American has not been too critical of Arteta, despite not getting many chances in the first team himself.

Turner, second choice behind Aaron Ramsdale, only had positive words to say about the young Spanish coach.

"He is a super respectful person. He has love not only for the players but also their families and their wives and kids. He goes up to them after games, he shakes their hand, looks them in the eye and gives them a hug and a kiss," the keeper told CBS.

"It makes your family feel a part of the success as well. He's done a great job of creating a [positive] atmosphere. I'm not the type of person who takes their job lightly. I want to be playing every single chance I can get.

"I show up to training with the right mentality. I work really, really hard to improve in the areas I need to. I'm trying to compete to get onto the field. I think Aaron Ramsdale and I have become better goalkeepers from challenging each other.

"Obviously, he is having a great season and is making big saves in big moments. I can't really complain with where I stand but I am working really, really hard. I hold him accountable and he holds me accountable. We've been developing a close relationship which has pushed us both forward."
