The former Atlético Madrid player who has been an integral part of Mikel Arteta's team since signing for the Gunners in October 2020, has missed the majority of this season.
This season has been greatly frustrating for the two-time Ghana Player of the Year, after sustaining an injury in October, but he made a welcome return to action last week against Sheffield United, and is now bent on helping Arsenal finish the season on a high.
“Last year we did so well, and came very close to what we wanted to achieve,” he said, adding: “This year we have lots of big players and I know we are capable of doing big things. It’s been tough for me, being injured for a long time, but now I am ready to give everything I can to the team.
“Anything I can add to our level, I will do. I worked hard during my rehab to be able to come back to the level I need to be at. Now I want to get back with the team.”
On why he left Atletico Madrid to sign for the Gunners, the Black Star said: “One of the reasons I joined though was for that challenge. I know the Premier League is very tough, but I wanted to feel that challenge, to test myself, and feel capable of doing it. My agent supported me a lot, and my parents, and also everybody at the club was great for me. You have to stay positive, learn from everything that happens.”
