Arteta pictured with Ex team mate, Mertesacker on his first day as Arsenal's boss

Arsenal have shared comprehensive behind the scenes footage of Mikel Arteta's first day as the club's new manager.

The 37-year-old, who was officially unveiled as Unai Emery's successor on Friday, was filmed on his tour around London Colney, and enjoyed a brief exchange with former teammate and head of academy Per Mertesacker.

During Arteta's visit to the club's analysis room, the Spaniard could even be seen enquiring over the use of cameras during training and joked with staff that they should prepare for a heavy workload.

The former midfielder was accompanied by a camera crew as he was taken around the training complex he would have become familiar with during his playing days in North London.

Arteta made sure to shake the hands of many members of staff upon his arrival, and was promptly whisked away to conduct a number of interviews and photo shoots.

But during the video, posted on the club's official website, Arteta's reunion with Mertesacker soon became focused on the resources that would be made available to him.

'You're going to have a lot of work to do,' Arteta says. 'You know that yes?'

The conversation about camera angles and Arsenal's use of drone footage then takes place, before Arteta is hurried away for the rest of the hectic afternoon's formalities.

The former Everton and Rangers star had also been warmly greeted by Gunners' Head of Football Raul Sanllehi and Technical Director Edu in the corridors of the state of the art facility.
