Former Borussia Dortmund defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos believes he can bring leadership to Arsenal.

Sokratis was confirmed Arsenal's latest signing on Monday.

The Greece vice-captain said: "Of course now I also have the experience. Whatever happens in the team, in the national team but also in my last club, I was there to help a lot of players, and also when they asked me [about things] on and off the pitch. When they asked me some things, I was there every time. I think this is leadership, but the leader has to be first on the pitch and last off it too."

He added: "Arsenal is one of the three biggest teams in the Premier League and one very big club. It has a lot of fans and a very big history. Like I said before, I'm very happy that for the next years I will be here to help the team."
