With a total of 196 appearances for Brentford, Christian played a crucial role in helping the team secure promotion in 2021. He will now bring his expertise to Arsenal and contribute to the team's title charge in the upcoming season.

In a recent interview with the club website, Christian expressed his excitement about joining Arsenal and competing in the Champions League. He mentioned that it was a childhood dream, which he never thought would be possible, especially at his age.

Christian, who has just turned 31, said that he had signed a new deal with Brentford, but he never gave up on the hope of playing in the Champions League. He is thrilled to be a part of Arsenal's Champions League campaign and said that it's a dream come true.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta also welcomed Christian to the team, praising his experience, leadership skills, and strong character. Arteta believes that Christian will be an asset to the squad, bringing depth, balance, and intelligence to the team.

Christian's signing is seen as a significant boost to Arsenal's midfield, filling the gap left by the departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey. The team is excited to have him on board and is looking forward to working with him in the new season.
