Of course, in the beginning it's always difficult. It's a new country, new teammates, so you need to find the relationship with all the players. Obviously it takes time.
When I was in the second unit, it just took me time to find my rhythm just playing with a lot of new guys. But once I got in the starting lineup, it kind of just opened up a little bit.
Every player needs a little time to adjust to new teammates and the mentality of the coach when you change clubs.
I'm looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and to be playing for Arsenal in the Premier League and Champions League. I will give my best to Arsenal and want to make all the supporters happy.
I am excited to play alongside players such as Carlos Tevez and Yaya Toure, whom I have only seen on TV, and to be in the same team as players I have played against such as Jerome Boateng and Vincent Kompany.
When you are new, it is difficult to get momentum and get to know your team-mates when you are not regularly in the team.
Obviously, getting traded halfway through the year is always tough. New faces, new teammates, guys you played against but don't know on a personal level.
I love working with new guys, especially MMA guys.
