The Spaniard was brought to the North London outfit back in 2020 to work under Mikel Arteta at the age of 25, now 28, Cuesta has climbed the ladder to become one of the Gunners coach’s most trusted advisers.

“I am sure that one day Carlos Cuesta will be a manager for a big, big, big club,” the Bayer Leverkusen star said.
