Nuno Tavares says he's a fan of several of his new teammates at Arsenal.
Tavares signed for the Gunners today from Benfica.
The Portuguese left back has come up against Emile Smith Rowe previously when playing for Benfica - and was impressed with what he saw.
“In the present I like [Emile Smith Rowe], because he is my generation," Tavares told Arsenal.com.
“He's played against us, on the same side - he played on the right, I played on the left - for the selection (youth) team.
“He's a good player, and I see Saka too. Young players, good players. From the past I like Henry. A very good player, and it's good for me to remember that story.
“You have a good project," he added. “Young people, it's good for me and we learn together, because we can understand together and we can have an evolution together with the young guys. It's the same. It's a good project with young guys and we understand each other."
Tavares added: "When I finished the season my agent told me that Arsenal were interested in me. In the first instance I was very happy and after this I dreamed about it, and [spoke about it] with my mum. I was so excited to be here, and now I'm here I'm so happy.
"Mikel (Arteta, manager) and Edu (football director) helped me so much. They speak with me every time, and call me and I feel people want me here. I like that because I need this power and I'm so grateful for this."
