Before December the 23-year-old had featured in just nine games for the Gunners in his five years at the club, but due to some injury problems he had been thrust into the first team and hasn’t looked back since.
And he is already carrying that good form into 2015, as the stats below show, nobody in Europe has tackled or made more interceptions that the young Frenchman.
