Sam Greenwood delighted with first weeks at Arsenal

Sam Greenwood is delighted with his first weeks at Arsenal.

The striker left Sunderland last month for the Gunners, despite trialling with Manchester United.

He told Arsenal match programme: "I was both excited and apprehensive about coming down from Sunderland to join Arsenal. Leaving my town, friends and family was quite daunting, it felt like a big task, but I was keen to push myself and now that I'm here I feel fully settled.

"Even where I live in digs in St Albans, it feels busier than back home. I live in the home of our landlady Rachel with Alfie Matthews, who is also a scholar. That's been a big help because we talk about all things football and support each other.

"I'm very much enjoying being at a big club like Arsenal. It's a big challenge for me and I'm relishing it. I'm at a club where I feel I can take myself to a new level."
