Benik Afobe full of praise for Arsenal fans

Arsenal striker Benik Afobe has paid tribute to their fans - particularly after the thrashing at Manchester United.

He insists the team will be doing everything they can to beat Swansea City on Saturday.

"It would be nice to get the first win under our belt, and it would be a great way to do it in front of our fans at home," Afobe told arsenal.com.

"Arsenal's fans are fantastic. They showed us their support at Old Trafford even when things weren't going well for us and I know that they are going to be right behind us.

"Now the boss has signed five new players in the last week or so the fans are going to be happy about that and I know the players can't wait to get going and show Arsenal fans what they can do."
