People can say the money doesn't really matter but it does show you how much a club respects you.

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

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

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

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.

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