“I’ve been watching Arsenal and the trajectory they’ve taken in recent years. Not only last year, but also the season before, where they finished fifth, you could see the style of play that Mikel (arteta s.a.) applied.”initially reports the former leader of the “hammers”.
“The way Mikel works, the team, how young the players are, the energy around the club and the challenge of getting Arsenal back to where they belong, it all means a lot to me. I know the fans really want it. I have come here very hungry for success and to spend my best years in this great team.”
The Englishman then expanded on Mikel Arteta’s role in his decision: “I am very excited. You see how it works. From the Amazon documentary you could get a picture of how he works with the players not only as a coach, but also psychologically, how good he is with the players and how much he improves them. He played a huge role in my decision to come here.”
