‘Massive weapon’ – Arteta’s warning for Arsenal players ahead of Brentford clash

Mikel Arteta has warned his Arsenal players that they must be wary of Brentford defender Michael Kayode’s long throw in when the two sides meet on Wednesday.

Kayode’s throw has caused problems for several opposition teams this season, and Arteta says it will be key to stopping the Bees.

“A massive weapon, that’s it,” Arteta said when asked about it. “Everybody knows that.

“They certainly have that weapon like Stoke had and other teams are trying to build (that) as well, because of the difficulty of the organisation of the teams, to score goals and to create big chances is decreasing.

“They have that opportunity every time the ball goes out of play.”
