What excites you most about this opportunity at Arsenal?

It is a dream since I was a child and also my family’s dream for me to be playing in Europe and playing for a big team like Arsenal. I am going to take this opportunity.

How did it feel to pull on that Arsenal shirt for the first time?

A very big moment, I am very grateful for everything, I am grateful to God and I will try to make the most out of it.

Do you know the history of the Brazilian players who have played for Arsenal?

I know a few. I know Edu, Denilson and I know that they have a lot of history at the club. Edu, in particular, I had a little contact with him at Corinthians as I had a spell there and I know they had a lot of success here but also for the national team. I am going to try to follow the same route.

You recently trained with the Brazil national team in preparation for the Copa America. What was the feeling of being there? How did you find out about the call up?

It was an amazing feeling, a dream come true, being able to be beside great players. I was home when I got the news and I was super happy. It is a great opportunity to learn and I enjoyed it as much as I could and I have to thank the team for welcoming me with open arms.
