I am happy at Arsenal.

I prefer playing in a 4-3-3.

I want to be Arsenal captain.

The fans at Upton Park are great.

Josh McEachran is a great player.

Paolo Di Canio was my all-time hero.

It's good to be around an English manager.

It's easy to fit into a team like Arsenal.

I want to go to the World Cup and enjoy it.

The criticism that Arsene gets is just a joke.

Lionel Messi is on a different planet to anyone.

I play the way I do because it's the Arsenal way.

I don't think one player can ever win a World Cup.

I know my body well. I know the right foods to eat.

My kids, since birth, have been dairy- and gluten-free.

With Arsenal, I've been playing out wide, which is not me.

Football never stops, and that's why you need a big squad.

As a player, if your attitude is questioned, it's horrible.

I am willing to go abroad if the right opportunity comes up.

Sometimes you have to shield, and sometimes you have to press.

The only people who should play for England are English people.

To be playing against people like Xavi and Iniesta is brilliant.

Obviously I want to win things, and I want to do it with Arsenal.

I want Arsenal to want me. If they didn't want me, it would hurt.

I know the best way to recover and get the right amount of sleep.

It's every kid's dream to represent their country at a World Cup.

We have loyalty at Arsenal, and players have shown that in the past.

If you don't believe in yourself, then who is going to believe in you?

We have got loyalty at Arsenal, and players have shown that in the past.

Once I'm at the training ground, I'm focused, preparing for the next game.

I've always loved representing my country, and it's something I've missed.

When I was young at Arsenal, you take it for granted, playing all the time.

Loyalty is a big part of football, and it shows if you are a real man or not.

The aim every season is to challenge for the top four and try to win a trophy.

It's difficult when you have a new baby but, at the same time, a nice distraction.

I have had bad luck with injuries, but I can't keep saying I've been injured a lot.

Arsenal means every thing to me. I've been here since I was nine and I love the Club.

I'm not just a footballer; I'm a top athlete, and we have to be at the top of our game.

Teams want the best players. If the best players come through your academy, you can play.

The Arsenal fans are great; every week they are 60,000, and the away support is fantastic.

Some players have got their price, but, to be honest, that's not the way I look at the game.

Now I've learned to enjoy my football while I can. Every time I'm on the pitch, I just enjoy it.

If I'm on the bench in a Premier League game, I'm thinking, 'What can I do coming off the bench?'

I haven't eaten junk food since I was 11, but I'm not teetotal: I have a drink maybe once a month.

It doesn't 'hurt' me, hearing criticism from ex-players. It probably disappoints me a little bit more.

I've had a bond with West Ham since growing up as a kid, going to Upton Park, looking up to the players.

I definitely wouldn't go somewhere just because I'm a homegrown player. I'd want to be wanted by a club.

Sometimes a manager can only do so much, as in prepare a team, and then the team have to go out there and perform.

I'm always in contact with my manager at Arsenal, who has been a big part of my career, and I'll always talk to him.

I went to Bournemouth and had a great time. The idea was just to prove to myself that I can still play at that level.
