I think you have to be grateful to those who have helped you.

If I could reincarnate as another player, I might want to reincarnate as Thierry Henry at the top of his game.

I do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time to return. I considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice. They match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win trophies.

I am really proud to HAVE been an Arsenal player.

He is a very complete, spectacular footballer. He always fights for the ball and tries to lose his marker to help his team-mates - either to defend or to have a shot on goal. For any football player in the Premiership, Scholes is a player you want to emulate. I would happily end my career with the medals that Scholes has. I am young and I hope that I will be able to surpass him - but it is not going to be easy.

If one day I leave Arsenal, I will never sign for another English team. Quite sure.

What makes a good captain is someone that can lead and someone who dies for their team.
