Kieran Gibbs hails impact of mentor Steve Bould on Arsenal's defence this season

Kieran Gibbs believes that Arsenal are already reaping the benefits of having Steve Bould work with the first-team squad this season.

Arsenal full-back Kieran Gibbs thinks that the Gunners' defensive improvements this season can be attributed to the impact of assistant manager Steve Bould.

Gibbs has been ever present for the Gunners so far this season in a defence that has conceded just two goals in five Premier League games.

He told the Daily Star: "You look at last season, we conceded too many goals and we knew we had to improve.

"We just looked at where we were going wrong and attention to detail comes into it a lot with Steve Bould. He's very focused on the small things.

"He played quite recently and we do a lot more stuff by splitting the team into separate training sessions. We are getting a good understanding."

The 21-year-old revealed that he owes Bould a debt of gratitude after he helped persuade Wenger to give the England international his chance with the first-team squad.

"Steve was the one who said to the boss to put me in to train with the first team for the first time.

"Now he's working with us I want to show him my appreciation for what he's done and how he helped me. I feel I want to give that back and show him he was right in what he did for me."

Arsenal are unbeaten in all competitions this season and have claimed nine points after five Premier League matches.
