Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis is convinced Unai Emery will bring excitement to the club's fans.

Emery was named new manager this week.

Gazidis told arsenal.com: "I am really excited about Unai's appointment. I feel he's a great fit for our football club. His value set, the way he conducts himself is really Arsenal class.

"Underneath that, you've got all of the technical side that he brings to the table and then on top of it all, which our fans will connect with, is this passion for the game and this energy. Once he brings that into the Emirates and into the Premier League, our fans are going to feel electrified by it.

"We don't know what the journey will hold exactly, and there will certainly be ups and downs, but I think our fans will appreciate the commitment and the passion that we're bringing to this effort and I think they'll be behind us on this journey.

"I'm convinced that if we as a club are together and remember our motto, Victoria Concordia Crescit - Victory Through Harmony - I'm convinced that the sky is the limit for us."
