Buyako Saka has said Mikel Arteta is attempting to "bring back the philosophy" at Arsenal by focusing on possession.

The Gunners were known for their attractive football during Arsene Wenger's long tenure at the club.

They were unable to establish an identity under former boss Unai Emery, but Saka believes that isn't a problem with Arteta.

"Mikel's trying to bring back the philosophy, the Arsenal passing way," Saka said after Monday's 2-1 win over Bournemouth in the FA Cup fourth-round.

"And I feel like we played really good football in the first half, not so much in the second half because we tried to control the game and manage momentum.

"In the first half we played some good bits of football and the goal obviously was very good."
