Pure Arsenal

Eberechi Eze:

"I'm happy to help the team and to win today is extra special. Special, man. Let's not speak about (possibility of wearing Spurs shirt this season).

“All the goals are good for me. I have been working out to get into that position. It has worked out."

Mikel Arteta on Leandro Trossard this summer:

“For me, it was forbidden for him to leave, no chance. I know the player that he is and surrounded with the players that we have, he’s a player that is going to make a difference for us.

“It was one of the best games [he’s had at Arsenal] — so aggressive with and without the ball, so effective. He could have scored another one or two goals and he was involved in so many positive actions, so that’s what we need.”

Mikel Arteta on Mikel Merino:

"He's such an intelligent player, and his work ethic and his desire to contribute and make others better is that big.

“I think he was incredible again. Those performances give you all the right reason to continue to trust him.

“Let’s wait for these conversations to continue between Valencia & Arsenal. Mosquera is expected to become a new Arsenal player in the next days.”
