It’s a new day for everybody at Arsenal Football Club with Unai Emery taking over the Emirates hot seat after Arsene Wenger’s 22 reign as Gunners boss.
It has been a very un-Arsenal like transfer window so far, with former PSG and Sevilla boss Emery being quick to wrap up deals to sign Stephan Lichtsteiner, Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi.
Emery has developed a reputation for meticulous planning and intense training methods, but most of the Gunners squad seemed to be enjoying being put through their paces by their new Spanish coach. Here are some of the best pictures:
There’s a new Sheriff in town.
The Gaffer letting his charges know what he wants for them.
Has nobody told them that pre-season training isn’t supposed to be fun?
Lacazette and Mkhitaryan fight for the ball.
New signing Guendouzi and his beautiful barnet looking to impress his team-mates.
Bellerin never misses a chance for a pose.
They don’t look happy, must be shuttle run time.
It’s not all change though, with Wenger’s old assistant Steve Bould still on the coaching staff.
Once training is over it’s time to cool down with a quick dip.
