“As a number eight, he can bring things that can suit Arsenal perfectly. He’s a hard worker. He doesn’t score a lot of goals or give a lot of assists, but he does very good work in midfield in terms of movement. Technically as well, he will bring something important in midfield. He’s got maturity, personality and as well experience.

“That could be something very good. I think Arsenal are missing experienced players that know what it means to win trophies. He did that with Paris Saint-Germain, he did it with the French national team, he did it with Juventus. And he’s a good lad,” says Petit in a statement which might surprise some people, before delivering the punchline.

“I’m more conscious about his mother. But she’s not playing on the pitch.”
