Mikel Arteta shares how Bukayo Saka reacted behind the scenes after he 'killed' him in the media

Mikel Arteta uses a number of different ways to motivate his Arsenal players. The Spaniard has been the Gunners’ boss for nearly seven years now, and almost every player in the squad has been recruited or promoted by him.

The one exception is Bukayo Saka , who was given his first-team debut by Unai Emery when he was still the manager. Yet, Arteta shares a close bond with the Englishman and has helped him develop into one of the best players in the world over the last few years.

However, that development is nowhere near complete, and Arteta is still doing everything he can to get the best out of Saka.
