Club legend: Quality of new Arsenal signing is the talk of Gunners' squad

Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg is tipping Granit Xhaka and Lucas Perez to succeed at the Gunners and says the latter has already proved his worth to his team-mates in training. 

Xhaka joined Arsenal early in the summer transfer window in a £34million deal, while Lucas Perez signed on the penultimate day in a £17m move from Deportivo.

Lucas Perez opened his account for the Gunners in a 4-0 win against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, with the striker scoring twice. 

Xhaka has scored in consecutive games for Arsene Wenger’s side and Ljunberg is tipping both to thrive at the Emirates – while also revealing that Perez has shown his quality during training. 

"Xhaka, I’ve seen him quite a lot and he’s very good," Ljungberg told Sky Sports. 

"He’s a hard-working midfielder with a great left foot, like we had with [Emmanuel] Petit. 

 "I’ve heard on Lucas that he’s impressed a lot of people on the training ground. 

"I think some people wanted some signings in the summer but everyone knows English clubs have a lot of money at the moment and if you ask for a player they raise the prices. He managed to get the players in the end."
