Unai Emery and Steve Bould get stuck into pre-season training as Arsenal stars toughen up
ARSENAL manager Unai Emery is not afraid to get his hands dirty on the training pitch as he prepares the Gunners for the upcoming season.
Unai Emery has been spotted getting stuck into pre-season training as the Arsenal manager prepares his players for the new campaign.
The Gunners boss and his coaching staff have been taking a hands-on approach to the sessions at London Colney, with both Steve Bould and Juan Carlos Carcedo playing active roles.
Emery and his team were pictured harrying and harassing players through drills in an attempt to beef up the squad before the 2018/19 campaign.
And the tactics appear to be working, with Arsenal stars Aaron Ramsey, Shkodran Mustafi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan happy to wrestle with their team-mates as they look to impress the new boss.
There was still no evidence of summer signings Stephan Lichtsteiner or Lucas Torreira after their World Cup exploits, but Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Matteo Guendouzi have all taken part in training this week.
