Today Arsenal have signed Thomas Vermaelen.
Arsene Wenger, manager of Arsenal FC, was extremely happy to have the Belgium international :
“Thomas is a great signing for Arsenal Football Club, and we are all delighted that he is joining us,” Wenger told the club’s official website.
“Thomas is a solid performer with good experience of Champions League and Uefa Cup football and is also a regular with the Belgium national team.
“Thomas is primarily a left-footed centre back, but he’s multi-functional and can also play at left back.
“He is strong technically with a positive winner’s attitude and I have no doubt his arrival will strengthen our team. Thomas Vermaelen will be a huge asset to Arsenal.”
