Everton striker Louis Saha says Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is one of the game's greats ahead of this weekend's Premiership opener.

"Arsene has been at the top for many years and he's up there with the best," Saha told evertontv. "He brings the best out of so many players.

"He has a young team now and I think looking forward there are even better things to come from them.

"I'm looking forward to Arsenal. They have some really good players and I'm confident it will be a great game - albeit a hard game.

"It's always really hard to play against Arsenal. The quality all over the pitch is amazing and it's difficult to get a few passes together!"
