Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney appreciates the support of manager Mikel Arteta.

Arteta came in during December and Tierney is yet to play a single minute of football under his leadership, but he has been working with the Spaniard behind the scenes.

Tierney said: "I've seen all his video meetings, I've been in the meetings together as a team.

“Before the games, after the games, and just his analysis is amazing.

“In Dubai for the winter break, I was doing some one-to-one work with him, and that's when I realised 'this is brilliant'.

“I'm learning a lot just in a rehab session.

“Just to me like, he knows what's going to happen in a game and how it's going to happen, what you should do, where you're going to get pressed from and where your options should be.

“You should know where the left mid's going to be, the centre-mid, so you can just play in sync.

“Everybody's one brain and I think that's perfect.

“Hopefully when I'm back fit and I get the chance to play, I can just build up fitness and confidence again."
