Mikel Arteta's approach has earned him "freak" nickname inside Arsenal dressing room

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been endearingly described as a "freak" by players for his approach with the club.

Since arriving in north London in December 2019, the former Manchester City coach has established himself as a Premier League manager. There have been disagreements with some players - not least the now departed former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - but the Spaniard appears to have a healthy relationship with his squad members.

The nickname has come to light as part of Prime Video's series All or Nothing: Arsenal , which launches on Thursday. The documentary follows the club throughout the 2021-22 season, when they spent part of the season in the top four before falling away late on.
