Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is pleased with the English core they're building.
Speaking at the club's Annual General Meeting on Thursday, Wenger spoke of his determination to ensure the club's playing staff develop an emotional affiliation with Arsenal.
"Are English players more loyal? It's easier for them," said the Frenchman.
"When you buy a player from Barcelona at some stage he might want to go back to Barcelona because Barcelona is a big club as well.
"A guy who is English, who is from London and plays for Arsenal, why should he go?
"But we had loyalty from people like [Thierry] Henry and [Patrick] Vieira, too.
"They had a lot of success here. They were respected here and respected the values here. They live in London - that is also a special attraction."
