Remi Garde: The real reason why Arsenal signed me...

Remi Garde has spoken of his time at Arsenal.

The former Aston Villa boss joined Arsenal at the same time as Patrick Vieira.

“We (he and Arsene Wenger) had – still have – 10 years between us," he told The Guardian.

“Arsene [Wenger] had the brilliant idea to bring two French guys at the same time so it was a bit easier for us to settle, especially for Patrick who was only 20 and didn't speak any English at all."
