"I am ready, I am very happy to be here and I want to focus on doing well for Arsenal.

"Arsene Wenger is a manager of immense quality. He knows how to use youngsters' ability. I have been watching Arsenal play since I was a kid and I took this decision because I know I have a possibility to become a better player here.

"I'm good in one-on-ones and I am a player who knows how to score goals. I play forward and I can play on both sides.
