"But for me it was the chance to come back to Arsenal, with the team we have right now, to work with Arsène Wenger again.

"It was basically him who introduced me to the top level. He brought me into the Premier League and into the Champions League, so I didn't think twice when I had the chance to come back

"I just said: 'Let's do it.' Now I'm here and happy, and looking forward to having an amazing season."
