He was definitely a reason why I went. It was him who really wanted me to come to Arsenal, the teenager told Canal Football Club on Sunday.

He doesnt come across as feeling under particular pressure, he is just doing what he loves to do. He has transmitted that to us on the pitch and that is why we are getting the results we are getting.
He continued: It is true that PSG were very interested, like other teams, there were a lot of discussions, but for me the best decision I could make was to join Arsenal.
Once they positioned themselves, I didnt hesitate, I orientated myself in that direction.
I think when I was young I watched a lot of Arsenal, but the fact that there are a lot of French guys there played a big role.
