To have six years of professional football under my belt already is really something.

When I was younger, even though I had a big brother, my parents would give me the house key every day.

I knew before I arrived that the pressure at a club that challenges for the title grows quickly. The season is long; we'll become stronger with every game.

You can see the players are world-class just by the way they pass the ball. Ozil, Sanchez, and Cazorla, for example, are huge personalities. Even though the club maybe spent more money on me, I can still learn a lot from them in any respect.

Each month from our income - we have a separate account, obviously - we give 80 percent of it to our parents back home.

I heard my new team-mates saying, 'We have got to hope that we don't go down.' I thought to myself, 'What kind of a mentality is that?'

I have never had any contact with Bayern Munich, let alone have agreed personal terms.

What happens here, the daily agenda of Arsenal, is very different from what I experienced in Monchengladbach.

A club like Arsenal, it's normal that expectations are high. This club must compete for titles, and that's what we want to do.

The expectations are high, so we know: If we do not meet them, there is criticism. We have high expectations ourselves. We are not happy with fourth, third, or second, either.
