Behind every kick of the ball there has to be a thought.

I just wanted to get back to playing attacking football after my time in Italy. It was a little difficult at first but the atmosphere and the fans were just fantastic.

My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.

We're still a great team. In your mind you can understand that but, emotionally, we needed to express the same belief. We came out full of fire and scored two early goals, two really beautiful goals, and that changed everything.

I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.

So I took it as a very positive sign that the club came to me rather than the other way round.

I really like Arsenal. But you, do you like Arsenal? Or just Arsenal with Trophies?
