Emery learning English from 'Peaky Blinders'

Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has revealed that he has turned to an unexpected aid in an attempt to speed up learning English – BBC drama Peaky Blinders.

The Gunners manager, who replaced Arsene Wenger during the off-season, is new to the Premier League, having previously coached in La Liga and Ligue 1 with Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain.

Subsequently, the Spaniard is having to learn the language on the fly and has turned to television, including the Birmingham-set historical fiction show, which stars Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory, and focuses on the exploits of the titular gang and their criminal dealings around the Midlands during the inter-war period.
