Mikel Arteta tried a radical approach to enhance the alertness of Arsenal players before the new English Premier League season.

According to the newspaper "The Athletic", M. Arteta specifically hired several pickpockets for the team's dinner.

The pickpockets did their job, and after dinner, the Spanish coach asked his players to empty their pockets. Some of them were without important belongings.

M. Arteta wanted to teach his players to never relax and to maintain their vigilance. The coach hopes that this lesson will be applicable on the field as well.

Arsenal will start the Premier League season with a match against the Wolves.
