Arsenal signing Albert Sambi Lokonga is delighted with his move from Anderlecht.
Lokonga joined the Gunners this morning.
“It's a big move because I have been playing for Anderlecht for 10 years so it's going to be my first big move to another country," he told Arsenal Media.
“It's a big step, but I feel confident because we have to be. In the football world, you have to feel confident about yourself, but I'm looking to play in this league and I can't wait to start."
So what sort of midfielder can the Arsenal fans expect to see when Lokonga makes his first appearance in Arsenal colours - does he prefer box to box or a more attacking role?
“I can play both," he said. “I can play as a six and I can play like a box to box, but people say that I'm better in the six position."
Lokonga has worked with Gunners legend Thierry Henry with Belgium.
“It's very great, very great," Lokonga continued.
"It was really great [to work with him in the Belgian national team]. A great experience because in the few times I was with him on the pitch I learnt a lot, so it was a really great experience.
“I think it's a good thing for me because Thierry Henry was a legend over here."
