Reiss Nelson says Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has has the players united behind him.

The Gunners sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League table during the World Cup break.

Nelson told the Mirror: "I feel like the players have kind of – they are not thinking about the title, we are just thinking about each game as it comes. The manager has instilled that in us.

“After every game, we have a picture on the board of the plan for the next game, so it is game by game, step by step, it is about how everyone can improve themselves and make the team get better.

"Of course, the title is something that we all dream of and want to do, but that is not worth thinking about all the time."

On Arteta, Nelson added: "I feel like it has always been the same, he has always had the same blueprint in terms of what he wants to do it was just about getting the right players in to follow the same path.

"He has got a group of players now that would do anything for him, anything he says and if you have that as a manager, the things you want to do will come good as everyone is fighting and understands what you want."
