Kylian told Sky news:
“It’s very important to learn all facets of the game and that’s a big reason I’ve chosen Mikel and Arsenal.
After playing for some of the greatest attacking coaches in the game, my team and I decided that I needed to know what it is to suffer, to know pain, to fight and battle hard for every half decent chance at goal.
I always wanted to be a left back growing up but due to being one of the best attackers in the world I’m usually forced to play upfront. Mikel is unique in that I can start upfront but spend most of the game tracking back and defending, this is what I dreamed about growing up as a child. I’ve played with Messi, Neymar and Di Maria but playing with duel monsters such as Rice and Ben White is what this beautiful game is all about.
Vamos Arteta. Duels duels duels!”
