Impressed Mikel Arteta has revealed a close ally clued him up on the brilliance of Ange Postecoglou long before he became the Tottenham boss.
The Arsenal manager will stand in the dugout across the Australian who is basking in the glow of Spurs' best start to a season in 57 years as the both sides remain undefeated heading into Sunday's mouthwatering North London Derby.
Arteta admits he is a major admirer of the former Celtic boss and says he was clued in on Angeball long before the 57-year-old got his Tottenham rejuvenation project up and running.
Arteta, speaking ahead of the big one, stated: "I really like him. I had players and I know players who had him and they always speak really, really highly of him.
