Defender Kolo Touré has stated his admiration for Sunderland manager Roy Keane, former captain of Manchester United.
The Gunners take on Sunderland today in a bid to strengthen their footing in the race for the domestic title.
Speaking to The Sun, the Ivory Coast defender said: "Roy Keane is a good coach and he has a good group of players at Sunderland.
"He had a special character as a player. He was someone who was really strong when he stepped onto the pitch and I hope as a manager he hasn't instilled that into his players!
"Sunderland are doing well this season. They have brought in El Hadji Diouf and Djibril Cisse and they will be a tough team to play against, especially as they are playing at home."
