Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin insists the players believe in the methods of manager Mikel Arteta.

Arteta, 38, was handed his first managerial job last December after fellow Spaniard Unai Emery was sacked following 18 months as Arsenal boss. Before that, Arsene Wenger had spent 22 years in charge.

"When Mikel came we knew a change was needed in terms of not just the way we play but the culture and identity," said Bellerin to BBC Sport.

"On and off the pitch, that is something you don't achieve in one day or one week. It is important to keep going because, even though results are not coming, we are doing so many things much better. I really, really believe the results will come.

"The way he [Arteta] turned it around after the lockdown, winning the FA Cup and Community Shield, showed the capacity he had as a manager.

"When you want to change the whole culture of the club for the better, that is something that takes time. But I truly believe we are on the right path; we are all fully on board."
