David Luiz hails 'amazing' Arsenal boss Arteta & insists he's still improving under Spaniard

The centre-back has credited the Gunners head coach for implementing his own unique philosophy at Emirates Stadium since his return to the club

Mikel Arteta is doing an "amazing" job at Arsenal, according to David Luiz, who claims he has improved his all-round game under the former Manchester City assistant's stewardship.

Arsenal appointed Arteta as Unai Emery's permanent successor at Emirates Stadium back in December, after Freddie Ljungberg's brief interim spell in charge of the first team.

The Gunners were unable to put together a meaningful run of results in the first half of the season, and slipped down the Premier League standings and out of contention for a place in the Champions League as a result.
