One of Arsenal’s members was the subject of a special media day, but it’s not what you might expect. Arsenal has been busy making a ton of new acquisitions in preparation for the next season. The Premier League’s juggernauts invested a lot of money in bolstering their team this year. But they also signed a Labrador dog named Win, something no one had anticipated. 

.

As per reports, Win arrived at Arsenal back in April this year and has become an instant favorite. Along with big-money transfers like Kai Havertz and Declan Rice, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has signed Win. The dark black dog has been spotted frequently at the club’s training grounds. Although for Arteta, bringing in a dog isn’t simply a publicity stunt.

The 41-year-old coach has opened up about his thought process behind bringing in Win. He explained, “We always talk about family. And being connected. In my opinion, a big family like we are at the club, which I feel we are a family, you need a dog to represent that family“. In addition to this, Arteta further stated that Win will help the club to connect even more with people and show their love and care towards its fans.

Moreover, the former Manchester City assistant coach stated the name of the dog, ‘Win’, is connected with the club’s vision of winning matches. He also revealed that the players have been showering their love on Win. There’s also a message written on Win’s tag that reads, “I’m not a dog, I’m a Gooner. Come on the Arsenal“. Most recently, Win also took part in the club’s annual pre-season media day.
