London's "Arsenal" team, which has been supplemented with an amount of £72 million by forward Nicolas Pepe, shared his joy with journalists.
"When I knew I was going to the 'gunners' team, I immediately started thinking about French footballers who have played here in the past.
The name of the world champion Mesut Ozil came to mind, as well as I thought about Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and many others.
Of course, these athletes stuck in my memory because I watched their performances when I represented "Lille".
"I had the opportunity to compete against A. Lacazette when he was still with "Lyon," - said the forward, whose decision was also influenced by a compatriot.
"Kolo Toure was with the Ivory Coast national team at the African Nations Cup tournament and told me about the high level, how he got into 'Arsenal,' and how hard work is needed every day to stay at the top," - said N.Pepe.
