Hector Bellerin admits Arsenal have a much clearer and simpler plan under Mikel Arteta compared to former manager Unai Emery.

The ex-Sevilla boss was relieved of his duties in December, with replacement Arteta winning four from 10 games in all competitions, keeping five clean sheets.

Right-back Bellerin has been eased back into action this season after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament last January.

The 24-year-old told Premier League Productions: ‘The influence on the pitch is visible for everyone.

‘I think the way we are taking control of games is way better than before.’

The criticism levied at former boss Emery was that his tactics and instructions were confusing, and Bellerin feels that is where Arteta excels in comparison.

He added: ‘There are so many things that have changed under him it’s clear that this has been an appointment for the future.

‘That’s what we are noticing I think he has very clear ideas which I think they are more simple.

‘The most important thing for a leader is when you have a message that it’s always whatever happens.

‘Nothing changes, this is always the message and that’s the philosophy, he’s convinced us from the get-go.

‘As players we are just trying to do what he says on the pitch because we know if we do that things are going to go well.’
