Arsenal defender David Luiz is happy working with manager Mikel Arteta.

Arteta, who left his role as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City to take up his first position as manager in replacing Unai Emery, and quickly made his target to have the club challenging for silverware once more during his time in charge.

"Mikel is doing amazing, I am enjoying being almost 33 years old and still learning and improving and to see how beautiful football is," Luiz told Ian Wright for adidas.

"Every day he changes something more and changes something more and how a new philosophy can still improve me as a person, a player as a leader.

"Mikel has tried to make us understand where to play and how to play. He gives us a plan: 'If the team is like that, if there is a low block parking the bus how you can create, take the responsibility to make a risky pass.'

"If the pass arrives there then we create an opportunity and score the goal, if the pass doesn't arrive there we can win the ball back quickly.

"Mikel has brought for the club a philosophy where everybody has to think for the best of the club. And the best of the club is to make the club shine again. Everybody, not just players, everyday has to breathe this oxygen, 'this club is to win'.

"It doesn't matter when, or by who, that was lost. What matters is to bring it back."
