Arteta has won the FA Cup for the Gunners and turned them into serial title contenders since replacing Unai Emery in 2019.
Speaking to TNT Sports on a clip posted on X, formerly Twitter, the Arsenal boss played '20 questions' to allow fans to get to know him a bit better.
Among the questions was his response to 'What is the most important rule in the dressing room?'
The Spanish boss responded with a simple four-word answer: "Love for the game".

In the same video he revealed that he would love to relive his PSG debut, explaining that: "It was a moment that you realise you're becoming a professional footballer, but you also realise how much is still ahead of you and all the decisions you're going to have to make to get to where you want."
On his favourite dressing room moment as a manager or player, he replied: "We have so much, but for sure one of them, it doesn't have to be directly related to winning, but the atmosphere when everyone is laughing and having the feeling of a proper team".
He also revealed that he considers Michael Jordan to be the most successful sportsperson of all time, and fish and chips is his favourite British food.
Arteta also admitted he'd choose Ronaldo (the Brazil international), Diego Maradona and Pele as his three footballing dinner party guests.
In another clip with TNT Sports, Arteta spoke about his side's success at set-pieces. "We can still be much better and there's a lot of things to improve in that area" he said.
"A lot of people see set-pieces as separate, I don't. I fully disagree with that, I respect it because one thing is a consequence of another thing".
"I love to have good weapons, especially when you are very close to the opposition's goal".
