Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has explained the purpose for his most recent acquisition, a collie named ‘Win’ for the training field. Following a story in The Times that the chocolate Labrador was acquired to boost morale at the club’s London Colney facility, the Arsenal manager was questioned about the canine acquisition during his news conference on Friday.

Arteta went on to say, “I believe that we are a family, and a dog should symbolize that.””Because I carefully selected the dog, I believe it perfectly represents who we are at this time. Win is her name, and while we all adore triumph, she is in desperate need of love. Thus, the emotion was primarily affection for Win.“The players’ and staff’s response has been phenomenal; she is now considered one of us.” She will accompany us on this voyage in its entirety. “Win requires accountability from us because we are also responsible for her well-being, including her emotions and needs.”Arteta has earned a reputation for attending to minor motivational details that strengthen the bonds between members of his squad. Apparently, he once illustrated the significance of connections with a lightbulb. This week also saw the disclosure that the Spaniard illustrated the necessity of “nurturing and growing together” with a diminutive olive tree.Arteta carried Win, a chocolate Labrador, into the room for Aaron Ramsdale’s contract extension signing this week. For the most part of the day, the dog will be supervised by a primary guardian at the club’s training grounds.Given the demise of Arsenal’s Premier League championship aspirations in recent weeks, the atmosphere around the club’s training camp is likely to have deteriorated. Arsenal have only won two of their previous seven league games, falling four points behind Manchester City, who have a game in hand and are now eight points clear at the top of the table.Arteta’s squad will go to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday in a bid to regain momentum.
