Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits he's using his multilingual skills on the touchline during games.

The Spaniard has explained how he often uses Spanish and French to deliver tactical tweaks so that it is not picked up by opposition players and managers.

Arteta believes that passing on tactical messages in a player's native language means it is understood and implemented quicker.

When quizzed on whether his decision was more about aiding players or confusing opponents, Arteta was coy.

"A bit of both," he said. "To some of them in French because that is their language. Others in English."
