In an effort to add to the squad's morale, Mikel Arteta has added a dog named "Win" to Arsenal's training ground.
Win is a chocolate Labrador, who is going to help reduce stress levels and enhance the mood in the Arsenal backroom team, reports The Times. The dog has a personal carer who takes care of her while she spends her days at the training ground.
The Gunners' title dream suffered a significant blow in their recent 3-0 home defeat to Brighton, leaving them four points behind Manchester City with one more game played. Arteta's side have an opportunity to reduce the gap to just one point if they emerge victorious against Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening. Meanwhile, Manchester City could secure their third consecutive title by defeating Chelsea on Sunday.
While Arsenal's season has shown great promise, falling just short of glory, it seems to have exerted a toll on the squad.
