"He recorded the most touches (116), accurate passes (87), possessions won (10) and the interceptions (three) for his side, while also winning seven of his nine duels and two of his three tackles. The 26-year-old has recorded seven direct goal involvements in all competitions this season (two goals, five assists) as Arsenal lead the way in both the Premier League and the Champions League."
"He was all over the pitch [against Everton]. His decision-making - when to pass it, where to pass it, what foot to pass it to, his detail on his pass - it was a pleasure to watch. He was absolutely incredible. He was splitting centre-backs, taking the ball off [Arsenal's] centre-backs, acting as a third centre-back, then next minute he's in the box, trying to score a goal. Sometimes, some of the stuff he does is a bit underrated."
