It’s quite a change for this group of players to adapt to, with football.london reporting that there have been five main changes made to Arsenal under Emery already.

According to the report, Emery has attempted to cut down on the use of phones around training, changed training times, adopted a more hands-on approach to sessions, focused more on working with the ball early in pre-season, and got more of an integration between the Under-18 and Under-23 squads with the senior side.
