Former Arsenal defender Kolo Toure has labelled Mikel Arteta "inspiring" after the manager's extraordinary season at the Emirates.

Toure, who was sacked as Wigan boss earlier this season, believes Arteta is doing an incredible job - but has warned him about the threat Manchester City will bring in the final weeks of the season.

He told Sky Sports: "He's [Arteta] been incredible. What he is doing as a young manager is inspiring us. You can see the energy he is bringing.

"He was really lucky to work with one of the best managers in the world in Pep Guardiola - learning from him was vital.

"But with Man City, they have the experience and Arsenal have to be really careful they don't slip because this Man City team will give everything they have until the last game."
