Aaron Ramsey has paid tribute to Francis Coquelin for playing a key role in Arsenal's impressive Premier League form.
Since returning from a loan spell at Charlton Athletic, Coquelin has been given the responsibility of providing protection for the Gunners defence, and Ramsey believes that the creative players in the squad are benefiting from the Frenchman's performances.
"He's been really good," the Welshman told the club's website. "He's very aggressive and doesn't give the opposition much time on the ball, and that's why he wins so many tackles. Then he wins the ball and makes us tick over.
"It's been really good to see his development this year, he's had a superb couple of months now so hopefully he can continue that.
"It is quite comforting knowing that one of the midfielders is behind you in position, thinking more defensively. It is something that he does really well."
Arsenal have lost just one of their last 11 Premier League games.
