It shouldn't be seen as a big achievement if you convince a player to come to Arsenal instead of Napoli, we are a much bigger club than Napoli and we probably offered a bigger wage too.

Arteta on Gabriel.

Regarding Gabriel, we cannot announce anything yet, the deal is not finalised - you all know he is a player that we have followed for a long time and hopefully we can get it done.

on the deal for Gabriel and whether it’s okay…
Well, everything is okay when both parties sign, and the player agrees the terms and he goes through the medical - sometimes that, in the final stages, is not as easy as it looks. But we are pretty positive that we can do it.

on the competition to get Gabriel…
Again, when we get it I will be very pleased. He's a player that we've followed and we're very determined that it was the right profile for us to improve our squad. If we are able to finalise it, we will be delighted.

on how close Gabriel is to signing…
We are trying to finalise a deal. That's what I can tell you at the moment.

“I was nervous, brother.”

He's going to announce himself before we do. 😆

Another 48 hours. Napoli waiting
