Seems to be an ok guy. A lot of shit has happened to his country, friends and family but I cannot think what could be of interest in this book. He has been in England for all of the current situation, further he was playing in the ruSSian league before City signed him so would appear to have had no big issues with them. I may be wrong but I do not see this as an interesting, enlightening book.

Tales of Mikel Arteta’s madcap motivational methods are spilling out of the Arsenal dressing room so often we’re starting to wonder if the players are taking the piss.
In August, the Gunners boss hired a troupe of pickpockets to rob his players during a team meal to teach them to “stay alert”.
And this week Oleksandr Zinchenko revealed the gaffer’s latest trick: handing each player a bowl, knife and lemon, and commanding them to squeeze the juice.
“In the end, we will add all of it in a bowl and see how much we can achieve together. The juice is our team magic,” Mikel explained like a psyched up activity leader at PGL Osmington Bay.
Zinchenko also recalled how Mikel recently hired a football freestyler, who disguised himself as a waiter and challenged him to a skills contest during a team breakfast.
“You realise how much work must have gone into that behind the scenes” Zinchenko shrugged. "That guy was there for at least three hours undercover, serving up coffee and cakes”.
If it doesn’t work out for him at Arsenal, Mikel’s a shoe in for motivational speaker at the Milton Keynes Business Brainstorm conference…

I see Matt Scott has gone off on one again on Twitter I wonder what our pet Gooner @bridgeno1 thinks of the desperation from some of these Herbert’s on social media.

Limp Bizkit aka Bukayo Saka has made a miraculous recovery and he's back training already, No doubt he'll start on Sunday and limp around for anything 90 minutes.
