Answers.Text: Okay I just had a chance to try out ; I'm not sure I follow you though.
  So to make things clear, with my hotkeys pressing P selects the Pen tool. Also, I didnt find any "whip" or anything curly in the text layer (not sure where exactly), apart from the "Reset" icon on the right hand side of each effect. Could you clarify a little more please ?

Answers.Text: I believe Florian is referring to After Effects - not Premiere. AFAIK, there are no whips in Premiere. Florian is correct in implying that this process is better suited to do in After Effects and not directly in premiere - as there's far more options available for motion controls in AE.
  
  The new Essential Graphics options would be ideal to work (theoretically) seamlessly from AE to Premiere. 
  
  If you're not comfortable working in AE, doing it by hand in Premiere might be your only option.

Answers.Text: I'm incredibly sorry, I was assuming you meant after effects since that's usually used for this kind of motion graphic design. Indeed, keyframing it by hand would be your only option in premiere.

  * select both layers
  * press "p"
  * in the text layer, drag the whip (the little curly thing)
  * drop it on the position, or the anchor of the arrow, depending on which one has keyframes.
  * voila.
  
  You can also adjust the anchor of the text to shift it and still make it follow the arrow.
