The then out of form midfielder was getting a lot of flak from impatient fans, especially when he was played on the wings.
Wenger said, “Let’s not forget that one year ago people were saying to me, ‘it’s difficult to play him at the Emirates’,” said Wenger.
The Welsh midfielder has had a flying start to this season where he has already scored 11 goals in all competitions (including Champions League playoffs). He has already been voted Arsenal’s Player of the Month four times in a row this year by the fans.
Wenger continued, “You have to give him credit for that transformation because he could deal with that. He could come back, never give up, convince everybody that he has the needed quality.”
