Arsene Wenger praises Steve Bruce

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised the "remarkable" job that Steve Bruce has done at Hull City this season.

Bruce has guided the Tigers to their first FA Cup final and they currently sit in 13th place in the Premier League table, with Wenger highly impressed at his achievements.

"Overall I feel Hull have had a good season because they are in the cup final and they are safe in the Premier League," he told Arsenal's official website.

"That is remarkable for a club like them. At Christmas they brought in Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic who have done well for them. So they have a good offensive force.

"And their manager Steve Bruce has done remarkably well this season. Everybody would agree with that I think."

Arsenal face Hull City in the Premier League on Sunday.
