Frimpong makes surprise call on 'best technically' of Arsenal academy teammates

Arsenal cult hero Emmanuel Frimpong says Leeds United captain Luke Ayling is the most skilful player he's played with.

The pair came through Arsenal's academy together.

And Frimpong says Ayling was the most technically gifted player there.

He said: “Francis Coquelin was good and he came later on.

“At the start Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Jack Wilshere, Sanchez Watt, Luke Ayling.

“Luke was very good, but very slow. Technically he was the best, for a defender he was very good."
