The 25 Arsenal players with the most appearances under Mikel Arteta

2. Gabriel Magalhaes (164 appearances)

I'm convinced this man has legs made of metal. He is a ruthless and tenacious player who doesn't mind putting his body on line but he is very rarely injured. This has, without a doubt, contributed to his appearance record being so high and him being set as the example for Arsenal players to meet.

1. Bukayo Saka (204 appearances)

I can safely say that it's going to take some doing to knock Bukayo Saka off the top spot. Saka features in the Arsenal lineup even when he's injured, that's how highly Mikel Arteta values him.

Arteta follows the traditional philosophy of the top players never miss games. In Bukayo Saka, he sees a player who has what it takes to be a top, top player. Dare I say it, he could even be world-class (don't click off, Rio).

In all seriousness, it would be great to see Saka get rest-time at some point but from Mikel Arteta's point of view, you can understand the excitement to use him week in, week out.
