"Playing for Arsenal is an honour and has pushed me to develop and grow as a player, and I feel empowered with this badge on my chest. I'm so proud of everything we've achieved together as a club, with our supporters driving us forward. But I'm still so hungry for more success, and I know that's shared by everyone here at the club. I can't wait to get started this season, starting with this Saturday at Emirates Stadium."
