Arteta praised Djeresh for his continuous learning and improvement of his performance.

The 36th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season will feature another key match, with Arsenal traveling to West Ham for a London derby. Manager Mikel Arteta stated that Dzekeresh's outstanding performance was not achieved overnight, but through continuous effort and building chemistry with his teammates.

Thanks to a brace from Dzekeresh and a goal from Saka, Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory over Fulham in the last round of the Premier League. With two consecutive wins, Arsenal currently sit atop the league table with 76 points.

It is worth mentioning that Arsenal defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, successfully reaching the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said, "I think the progress we're seeing now isn't something that happened in a day or two, but rather the result of months of accumulation. It didn't happen overnight; Dzekeresh has always worked very hard and has extremely high standards for himself."

“Dzekeresh is always eager to learn, always asking questions, and always wanting to do more. He is constantly working to find ways to build rapport with his teammates, whether in the restaurant, the locker room, or on the court. When you have this kind of behavior and attitude, the player will be rewarded.”

Speaking about Lewis Skelly's performance, Arteta said, "I think it's a gradual process, which may include our further understanding of him, as well as his own. At this level of competition, whether you're playing or not, you need to meet certain standards, and also understand why you're playing and why you're not playing."

"His performance has always been outstanding, whether it's his attitude, training methods, or his support for his teammates when he can't play. He gives us a positive signal, making us believe that he will deliver such a performance if given the opportunity. But what's truly surprising is that even with limited playing time, he can still show such confidence, energy, and a determined attitude."

Regarding the chemistry between Ben White and Saka on the field, Arteta said, "When it comes to the pairing on the right wing, I think they have actually played together very little this season for various reasons, but they have a very good understanding."

"They have been playing together for many years, and everyone can clearly feel this tacit understanding, and this feeling is very positive."
