Arsenal Spanish translator lifts lid on 'incredibly passionate' Emery

Arsenal's Spanish translator Daniel Lane has lifted the lid on the personality of manager Unai Emery.

Lane has worked closely with Emery over the past 12 months.

He told the London Evening Standard: "It is very much the kind of thing you see on the touchline.

"Incredibly passionate, throwing himself into the game, that is how we've seen it in terms of him learning English. You can tell he really wants to learn, he has put an incredible amount of effort into that and has had the guts to come out and do the press conferences in English from day dot.

"It is that kind of passionate, 100 per cent attitude to English we have seen, he will ask for feedback on how his English was after every interview we do, he really cares about a correction or something like that. It is amazing to see when he is also trying to do one of the biggest jobs in football."
