“It’s unlike Arsenal to sign a defender for nearly €40m – I’m surprised”, he said on his return to his former club for the Arsenal Legends match against Milan Glorie on Saturday. Olivier Giroud is a good player but misses crucial chances on too many occasions, Theo Walcott is fast but doesn’t have that ruthless edge to his game a striker needs and Danny Welbeck is direct but always injured – what does Perez offer?

Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann has pronounced himself “surprised” by his former manager Arsene Wenger’s decision to spend £35million on Shkodran Mustafi.
“Sometimes I think they don’t realize how much I ran or how many passes I’ve played”.
The three months’ inactivity, in turn, birthed unrest amongst the Emirates Stadium faithful as the fans took to the social media to lambast him; they can be forgiven, though, especially since Arsenal’s title rivals were announcing Ilkay Gundogan and Paul Pogba, among others. I think some players like Xhaka or Mustafi can help this team.
“For me, the number means a lot”. This is my opinion, but when you see all the names at Arsenal, the quality is unbelievable. He’s told me he’s very impressed by how I train and how I’m a disciplined character.
Kanu believes that Arsenal have set themselves up for success this season thanks to their business in the summer transfer window.

“We need maybe a bit of luck for this season, and I hope less injuries”, he further added.
