Arsenal youth players have been performing impressions of Unai Emery around the club, it has been claimed.

Emery often purveys a relaxed demeanor, and now that appears to have encouraged younger players to begin poking fun, reports the Independent.

It is claimed that younger players around Arsenal's Colney training base now take the mick out of Emery "in a way that is a lot more cynical than the light-hearted".

Emery's pronunciation of "good evening" quickly went viral online after he was appointed as Arsenal manager, and the phrase has stuck with him ever since as something of a catchphrase.

A club source claims the phrase is one of the many elements that some squad members now "mercilessly take the p**** out of".
