Gabriel Paulista confident finding place in Arsenal defence

Gabriel Paulista is confident finding a place in Arsenal's defence.

The former Villarreal stopper's move to Arsenal was confirmed yesterday.

"I'm coming to a very big club and I know that I will play with great players. While respecting everyone, I want to play for my place in the team. I know that is not going to be easy, I must show my potential, I have to show that I can be in the group, that the manager can count on me.

"The same goes to all my team-mates. I will carry on the same way I have been since the beginning of my career. I have always respected everyone to get to where I am in my career, and I want even more."

Paulista added: "I know that we have great players of a high standard, players who are real stars, because if they were not stars they wouldn't be here."
