Arsenal were really interested in me for a long time, and I think that I fit into the football Arsenal play.
From Granit Xhaka
There a lot of occasions when Albanians cause trouble, but then we are also very nice people. People sometimes forget that there are good people from the Balkans as well.
I have learned one thing in my life: If I put too much pressure on myself, then everything goes wrong.
When I went to Gladbach from Basel in 2012, I put a lot of pressure on myself at first, and it was too heavy. I will not put any pressure on myself at Arsenal, even though the transfer fee was high.
Ottmar is a big coach and a good gentleman. I don't know if I'm a young Schweinsteiger; I'm another player. I am Granit Xhaka.
When I was younger, even though I had a big brother, my parents would give me the house key every day.
The fans are amazing. I'm really happy here at Arsenal, and I'm going to do my best for this club.
London is really nice, and I'm really happy here, but, of course, I've moved here to play football and not just to be in the city.
In games, you notice there's more sprints than in Bundesliga. It takes a while to get used to.
I think every new player needs time when they come to a new club and a new country, and I certainly did.
