The player has also said that he will give his best for the club for the club starting the up coming season which will be a spot light to Unai Emery’s reign which started in May after Arsene Wenger decided to leave Arsenal after finishing two decades at the Emirates Stadium.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos will be wearing the Arsenal shirt no.5 and the gooners will be hoping to see him partner with Laurent Koscielny who will be returning to the club from the sidelines in December.
