He told Expressen: "I am both impressed by and enjoy working with him and have been given a great role as one of three assistant coaches.

"My areas of responsibility are mainly set pieces and the team's culture, although the areas of responsibility overlap to some extent. I enjoy working with him very much. And I value him very highly in terms of quality as well.

"It's remarkable, I would say. That a player, 18 years old, goes from the Allsvenskan and quickly establishes himself in the Premier League and Champions League is unique. I don't know if it's ever happened before. Maybe Fredrik Ljungberg? I don't know how quickly he got into English football, or how young he was. It's very impressive."

Dejan Kulusevski , 25, has been injured since Georgson arrived, but has also made a big impression.

Georgson added, "He is a different type of leader than you might think. He leads by showing how important football is, how hard he is willing to work and how passionate he is."
