Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is full of praise for the club's youngsters after victory over Southampton.

Xhaka believes Arsenal's youngsters have “bright futures" after Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock both scored for the win.

“I think we have some very good youngsters and they have big futures," he said. “They are already helping us and they keep working hard as well.

“Of course, we had to win yesterday [to keep our hopes of qualifying for Europe alive].

“We didn't play well last week [at Manchester City] and then we were a little bit unlucky [at Brighton], but yesterday we played very, very compact we were aggressive in a lot of the duals and we deserved the three points.

“I think we worked very hard, we had a game plan and Mikel did very good preparation for us.

“But sometimes you need luck, sometimes it is not your day but yesterday we started again with another three points and we want to keep going.

“We are happy to take the first three points since the lockdown and we hope to continue like this."
