“Everyone knows how important Bukayo is for us and what he did for Arsenal for the last couple of years.
“Of course, it is a bit different to Bukayo.
“But Gabi has shown already a couple of times that he can play both sides. He’s a big threat for every defender – and I think he is going to show it, as well.”
