“I have not come to Arsenal to sit on the bench or even in the grandstand,” he stated.

“But I’m not 30, I’ll be 24 at the end of September. I’ve moved to a club and a coach that can develop me.”

He further stated that he would like to make massive improvement during his stay with the Gunners and believs that this could be achieved over a short period of time.

“I think at Arsenal I can improve my speed and power. Because I realise now that I’m not at a hundred per cent of what is possible there. [Understanding] this too is an advancement.”
