Mikel Arteta Arsenal book story

There is a page from a book that details how Mikel Arteta pulled a fast one on his Arsenal squad back in October 2022. Just before the North London derby against Tottenham, he had every player hide a small object in one of their shoes. The challenge was for him to figure out who was holding it by watching their faces, eyes, and pulses. He correctly called out Gabriel Magalhães as the one with the item, leaving the whole team shocked at his accuracy. After the match ended with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham, Arteta finally admitted the truth: he wasn't reading minds at all but had been monitoring everyone through hotel CCTV cameras the entire time.
