Arsenal boss Arteta: We must not have cliques here

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he won't accept foreign cliques in the dressing room.

Arteta has vowed to crack down on any dressing-room cliques.

“I don't want any Brazilian group and I don't want a Portuguese group," said the manager.

“The important thing for me is that they unite with the entire squad. I want a team that is fully integrated so they can build a strong and trusting relationship between each other.

“Obviously you will have more chemistry between some players than between others and it's important for new players to have somebody they have already spent time with who understands your culture.

“But for sure we will promote that integration between all of them."
