Transcript

00:00 You said a second ago that Arsenal always have to be in the conversation for things

00:04 like a backbencher, players like a backbencher. Are you in the conversation?

00:08 I'm not. Maybe Edu and the owners have a time not in those conversations until the last

00:13 stage.

00:14 I guess the question is more, should you be? Why not?

00:18 Exactly. Why not? If we want to be the best team, we're going to need the best talent

00:24 and the best players, that's for sure.

00:25 If you're someone like a 25-year-old striker looking around Europe, there can't be many

00:30 more projects that are as appealing or exciting as the one you've put together. Do you agree

00:35 with that? Is that your pitch to big players?

00:38 Yes, I think the club that we are, I don't think that's ever been an issue. Everybody

00:44 wants to play for Arsenal. At least the players that we always discuss, they always have that

00:48 smile on their faces the moment you open the door and start to have that discussion. That's

00:52 because of our history and everything that we've done in the past as well.
