Arsenal fans spotted what Rob Holding did during Mikel Arteta's training session

Mikel Arteta's second training session as Arsenal head coach is in the books.

The 37-year-old, who was appointed last Friday, officially took charge of the Gunners on Sunday following the goalless draw against his former club Everton.

And it was straight down to work for Arteta and the squad.

He called up six wonderkids including James Olayinka, Tolaji Bola and Robbie Burton for his first training session as Gunners head coach.

Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe were just some of the more experienced players present for the session.

Even though the holidays are fast approaching, there's little time for rest for the Arsenal squad.

They're back in action on Boxing Day as they face Bournemouth away from home in what will be Arteta's first game in charge.

Ahead of the trip to the Vitality Stadium, the club posted a video of a training session at London Colney on Monday afternoon to their official Twitter account.

The likes of Reiss Nelson, Joe Willock and Matteo Guendouzi were present as were those who featured against Everton at the weekend.

Also taking part in the training session was Rob Holding.

This is somewhat of a boost given the defender hasn't featured since the 2-0 defeat against Leicester City prior to the international break which turned out to be Unai Emery's penultimate Premier League game in charge.

But the 24-year-old being back in full training is not what caught the eye of a few Arsenal fans.

Instead, supporters noticed a rather confused look on Holding's face as Arteta was explaining a drill.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...
