Mikel Arteta has revealed he planted a tree to motivate his Arsenal players.

The Gunners boss told BBC Radio 5 Live: "After a lot of changes, I planted the tree.

"I said this is my gift, now you have to look after it. It cannot die. You are all responsible, if someone poisons that tree, he’s OUT."

Asked how the tree is doing, he added: "Very good, really healthy, growing & is another three years older, so he’s in a good place."

  1. Arteta is so weird, it’s great.

    Love seeing managers trying outside of the box ideas. This, Win the Dog, playing you’ll never walk alone in training

    Even if these things make 0.5% of a difference I love seeing our manager use literally everything to gain an advantage (legally)

  2. He’s an amazing personality. Would be in a top 1% of any other industry if he chose not to be a football manager
