Arsenal star Riccardo Calafiori has heaped praise on midfielder Mikel Merino following the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
The Gunners returned to winning ways with a resounding performance against Forest. Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey and Ethan Nwaneri were the goalscorers.
Merino got a surprise start alongside Jorginho in central midfield and he produced a good showing.
The 28-year-old had a passing accuracy of only 85 percent, but he won six duels alongside six recoveries. He also won two tackles with as many interceptions.
