Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette have both backed Mikel Arteta’s tactical changes at Arsenal despite having only won three games since he took over.

Arteta took over from interim head coach Freddie Ljungberg in December and Arsenal are tenth in the Premier League after his first seven games in charge.

While the results have not improved significantly, Ozil and Lacazette feel the team has united under Arteta's tactical philosophy.

Ozil, talking at Arsenal's Dubai warm-weather training camp, said: "As a team, we are much happier and everyone wants to give everything for this club. Especially tactically we improve a lot and I hope in the future we will be more successful."

Lacazette, who has not scored since Arteta took charge, echoed Ozil's view on the coach and team morale.
