Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson admits the club has been transformed this season.

He admits the club has changed since he left it last year for a loan with Feyenoord.

“The atmosphere around the training ground is just so alive," he told the London Evening Standard. “Everyone just wants the best for each other.

“Everyone is really caring. That's another thing, a lot of changing rooms they just want results but they don't care about individuals and how people are. I feel like at this club everyone genuinely cares for each other and wants the best for each other."

Nelson thinks that the close age range of the squad has helped create unity, but he has also praised manager Mikel Arteta for his role too.

“He does a lot of things off the pitch in terms of team bonding," says Nelson. “It's so important to have a manager that understands there is life off the pitch.

“There are times where we will literally be in a room, we'll all be sitting in a circle and everyone is speaking with Mikel in the middle, just giving wisdom and encouraging people to feel good about themselves. Having that in a team where you can all be open to speak among each other, good or bad, is just amazing.

“I feel like everyone is rowing the boat the same way and there is no one trying to do an interview if they get upset or if they are not in the team. If you are on the bench, we are literally cheering and so happy for the guy in our position."
