Mikel Arteta’s unusual way of making his Arsenal players feel comfortable at away games has been branded “extremely strange” by Graeme Souness.

Arteta has been central to Arsenal’s success this season, creating a strong team spirit which has helped them come from behind to beat Aston Villa and Bournemouth in recent weeks. The Gunners boss has used some unconventional methods to achieve results, with home comforts being taken to away matches.
