Mikel Arteta believes Bruno Guimaraes is ‘hitting serious levels’ after Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Hull City on Saturday.

Martin Odegaard’s second-half goal sealed the victory for the Premier League champions, which has put them six points clear at the top of the table after Manchester City’s 3-1 defeat away to Nottingham Forest.

Guimaraes was handed only his fourth start in the Premier League this season following his £75 million move from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.

But the Brazil international delivered an impressive performance alongside Declan Rice at the heart of Arsenal’s midfield.

‘He’s much better, he had a massive impact, he’s hitting serious levels now, but we can still take him to another level,’ Arteta said after the win over Hull City.

‘That’s my conviction, I told him that in the dressing room – he owned a lot of moments in the game but there is still much more to come.’

Arteta also praised Noni Madueke for another lively performance on Arsenal’s right flank in the absence of Bukayo Saka.
