It's been quite the last few months for Pablo Mari.
After becoming the first Spaniard to win the Copa Libertadores in November, the centre back became Mikel Arteta's first signing when he joined us on loan from Flamengo this week.
And our head coach was full of praise for our new arrival.
"For me, it's very important," Arteta said. "He balances what I want to do from the back line, he gives more options, more solutions, he opens up the pitch more. Again, he's a player that we've been following for the last few months. We are really happy to have him.
