Mikel pumps up volume looking for a top-16 hit

He set up giant speakers and pumped out music during training for tonight's Champions League showdown with Dinamo Zagreb.

The Gunners head coach, below, has used music before in an effort to inspire.

But it was a first in an open training session as the players assembled to the baseball anthem Take Me Out To The Ball Game - then turned it right up for the warm-up with a couple of Brazilian songs such as Mas Que Nada.

Arteta said: "Music is another element of our training sessions to be the energy to change some purposes that we want, and I think the players enjoyed it.
