Merino praises Arteta's intense training regime at Arsenal: The methodology in place is truly exceptional

"It's a highly intense training environment, quite different from what I experienced in Spain," he remarked in an interview with the club's media team during a 'Colney Carpool' session. "I believe the training methods here are not just unique to Spain but also stand out compared to other places. The level of professionalism and methodology employed by Arteta and his team is truly remarkable."

"Not only on the pitch but also in the gym. I don't know. The hard work that they put in always, every member of the staff is always on top of us, making sure we have what we need to improve. Unbelievable." 

Arteta’s training sessions are clearly paying off as his Arsenal side are still unbeaten so far this season in all competitions despite numerous injuries including Merino.

The Gunners face Bournemouth this weekend as they travel to the Vitality Stadium after a well-deserved international break.
