Arsenal players are certainly never bored during training sessions.
Details: Photos from today's Arsenal training in London are going viral on platform X, showing the players engaged in a rather amusing drill.
The thing is, Gunners' head coach Mikel Arteta has come up with another unique exercise: players are required to hold several pens or pencils in one hand while simultaneously controlling a ball with their feet.
Fans speculate that this drill is designed to develop the ability to focus on two things at once: attention and ball control.
Arteta is widely known for his unique and creative approach to training. Previously, he hired professional pickpockets to teach players alertness, and even brought a Labrador into the team to help reduce stress.
At the moment, Arsenal sit atop the Premier League table with 71 points after 31 rounds.
Reminder: Last chance. Arsenal's management ready to sack head coach.
