Ismail Oulad M'hand is happy with his progress at Arsenal.

The midfield prospect joined the Gunners last year from Feyenoord after extended delays.

He told arsenal.com: "It was tough and frustrating for me to be away from football for so long, but after three long years, this is the first season I have finally been able to show what I am about on the pitch and what I can do a bit more consistently.

"When looking at my move from Holland to England, I have noticed that English football has a lot more emphasis on the physical side of the game than Dutch football. Being physical is one of my key strengths though, so I can use that to my advantage together with the tactical and technical abilities that I picked up from my time at Feyenoord in Holland.

"I would describe myself as a box-to-box midfielder that has both attacking and defensive qualities. Off the ball I am strong in one v one duels, breaking up counter-attacks and counter-pressing when there is a transition moment. On the ball, I am composed with both feet, I get my head up to scan and always look to play forward passes first. I am a midfielder with scoring abilities and I like to create chances for my teammates by putting them in front of the goal with through passes."
