Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been putting his players through their paces at their w♎arm-weather training camp in Dubai.

🦩The Gunners squad jetted to the UAE last week, and will start heading back to London on Wednesday.

Arsenal were left reeling by a difficult January tꦓra🔴nsfer window in which they lost 13 players and signed just three.

Of those three, two will join in the summer, and🌳 the other is ﷽a signing for the Gunners academy.

January was also difficult on the pitch, with Arsenal f☂ai♓ling to win a game all month.

Hopefully these last few days will see the Gunners recharged and ready to return💫 to form in the league.

Arteꦐta has also had the chance to keep tabs on some of Arsenal’s most tale😼nted youngsters.

And on T🅘uesday, Hale End defℱender Mazeed Ogungbo was pictured in training.
