New Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta Discusses Accountability, Mesut Ozil at Presser

New Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said he will hold his squad accountable and that Mesut Ozil remains a "massive" player for the Gunners.

Per the Guardian's Gregg Bakowski, Arteta made it clear he's only interested in working with players who have the right mentality: "I don't want people hiding. I want people taking responsibility for the job. Anybody that doesn't buy into this is not good enough for this environment or culture."

Ozil will have a role to play, with Arteta referring to him as a "massive" figure for the Gunners. He also praised Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger as major influences.
