Laurent Koscielny has lauded Arsene Wenger and says he doesn't just produce players at Arsenal - he makes men.
The French defender is into his seventh season at the Emirates and says that he has developed as a person, as well as a footballer, during his time at the club.
Koscielny moved from Lorient to Arsenal in 2010 and has since become one of the Premier League's leading centre-backs.
The only thing that is missing for Kosceilny is a league winners' medal.
“You may say that we haven’t won the title for a long time, but he has not just built players, he’s built men too,” Koscielny told Arsenal Player.
“Every player who has played for Arsenal has grown here and has become a man. It’s a big number [of players]. For me and the others, it’s a good opportunity to be with him and learn from him.
“He’s passionate about football. He loves football and he loves to watch his team play well with the ball. That’s why he’s here again after 20 years.
“Along with a lot of people, he’s helped this club grow with a new stadium, a new training ground, and he built the platform for us to compete for the Premier League and Champions League every year.”
Things remain precariously close for Arsenal this season, however, who sit fourth in the table.
While they are only one point from second place, they are only four from sixth and a couple of poor results could see them drop out of the Champions League spots.
