"I am arriving at a big club and the fans can expect to find a Gabriel with a great will to help everyone. Not just thinking of me as an individual, because to me that is not important. I care more about helping the team and my teammates," Gabriel Paulista said.
"I want to help everyone, so the fans can expect a Gabriel that on the field has a lot of will to be able to help the team win important things."
As part of the deal that sees the Gunners land the 24-year-old Brazilian, forward Joel Campbell has been sent to Villarreal on a season-long loan.
