Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Arsenal squad enjoy night out at exclusive London restaurant

Arsenal have been performing well on the pitch in recent weeks and the squad enjoyed an evening together at Pirana in the heart of Mayfair on Wednesday

The Arsenal squad enjoyed a team night out at a restaurant in London on Wednesday ahead of the weekend's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.

After Tuesday's 4-0 thrashing of Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, spirits are high in the Gunners camp at the minute. Sitting fourth in the Champions League league phase table, Mikel Arteta's side are also top of the Premier League and three points ahead of nearest rivals Manchester City.

To celebrate and reflect on the achievements of the last few weeks, the Arsenal squad enjoyed an evening at Pirana in the heart of Mayfair on Wednesday. The likes of Bukayo Saka, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Mikel Merino, Gabriel Magalhaes, Noni Madueke, Ben White, Martin Odegaard, Viktor Gyokeres, Kai Havertz, David Raya, Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman, Cristhian Mosquera, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Piero Hincapie were all pictured outside the restaurant on St James's Street.

Snapped by photographers, the group showcased their fashion styles with some in oversized hoodies while others were in classy jackets. Declan Rice and William Saliba were spotted laughing at one stage, while White's outfit raised eyebrows as the defender covered his face with a jacket probably only he could pull off.

According to the Pirana website, the restaurant offers a "thrilling dining experience unlike anything seen in London before". Their specialities include grilled black cod (£54), steamed king crag leg (£92) and lamb chops anticucho (£56).

The restaurant also offers small dishes, kushiyaki skewers, sushi, rice and noodles and wagyu beef, with a 180g Japanese fillet priced at £138. An Asahi beer at the restaurant costs £8, while signature cocktails range from £18 to £65.

The squad were all smiles as they left the restaurant in the rain, with the players now gearing up for the clash against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Arteta was extremely happy after the midweek win over Atletico and the Spaniard is keen to build on the performance in the weeks ahead.

"I'm extremely happy and proud of the performance and the results against a really good side. I was very impressed when I analysed them and what I've seen today about them as well," the Arsenal boss said.

"So, I knew about the difficulty of it. It required a lot of aggression and a lot of patience as well, and the way they managed the context of the game and the way they can manipulate their behaviour was really impressive. With it being 0-0 at half-time, even though we generated two or three big chances, we had to stay patient, but at the same time, increase a little bit, set some areas to damage them more. We've done it, and then in this Champions League, I think we were very effective as well."
