Hudson-Odoi has emerged as an option, and the move could also help the Englishman revive his career. Kevin Campbell heaps praise on Mikel Arteta Kevin Campbell believes Mikel Arteta is ready to do everything possible to help his team. The Amazon documentary "All or Nothing" has provided a glimpse of life behind the scenes at the Emirates. The first three episodes were released on August 11. Campbell is pleased with what he has seen so far. Speaking to Football Insider, he said that Arteta wants his wards to be mentally prepared for the rigours of the Premier League. The series also shows the fallout between Arteta and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined Barcelona on a free transfer in January. "It (the documentary) has shown to me that Arteta will try everything with this young squad. He wants to get them mentally right and mentally prepared. He has got a bit of stick for playing 'You’ll Never Walk Alone', but as a player, that would get under your skin a little bit. That is why he did it, to get under their skin. It is done to try and prepare the players for the beast that is Liverpool," said Campbell. He added: “Let’s be honest: Liverpool and City have been the beasts of the Premier League. You have to be mentally right to take them on. It did not work out, but they (the Gunners) had a decent season. They only just missed out on the Champions League. That is because they weren’t mature enough. Sometimes you need to go through adversity to get better." Campbell continued: "The documentary is showing us what it means to the players. I didn’t know that the photographer Stuart gave a team talk before the Spurs game. It is interesting to get a look behind the curtain. Arteta is not scared to try things, and I like that. I love it. It has been better than I thought," said Campbell. Mikel Arteta has enjoyed a flawless start to the new campaign, winning his first two games as the Gunners trail leaders Manchester City on goal difference.
