Decision on joining Arsenal
Once I decided to leave, my goal was to join Arsenal, because I think the style of the team is very suitable for me. It's a young, motivated and ambitious team who have shown great potential lately and I believe the best is still behind. Stepping into Arsenal's doors, you can feel the greatness of this club and this team. Berta and Arteta took great care of me, leaving me without any doubts.
This is an important moment in my career, a transfer I have been looking for, and a deal I have always wanted to achieve. Of course, this is a huge change, but I'm ready.
Regarding the similarities between ourselves and Arteta
We have a lot in common, we come from the same city and have played for the same team. I am very happy that we have a lot of topics to talk about off the court.
About Odegao
In addition to Odegao's efforts on the court, I was surprised to see his diligence in the gym, and he was 100% focused on his physical condition. As for Real Sociedad, it can be difficult when you are rented out, but Martin has gone through it all.
Regarding Spanish internationals such as Merino and Raya, I am very happy to see them here, and I played many games with Merino. This is very important to my transition period and I believe they will help me a lot.
