Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has warned his players to keep a close tab on Benfica star, Adel Taarabt in today’s second leg of the Europa League at the Emirates.
Recall that both teams played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg last week.
Arteta stated that they must be at their best to progress to the last 16 but was quick to warn his players not to give the former Tottenham player any room to express himself.
“Yes, he used to play as a No 10 and he was a super talented and very creative player.
“He had a really good season in the Premier League and it was very hard to play against him, because I played very close to him a few times.
“He was a player with an enormous talent. He’s changed his position a little bit and a bit with his discipline too.
“It’s nice to see him back playing.”
