Arsenal have signed a complete defender in Pablo Mari, legendary Brazil midfielder, Rivaldo has said.
Rivaldo believes Mari has all it takes to fit in easily at the Emirates Stadium.
According to him, Mari passes well and he knows when to bring the ball forward nicely to help the team.
He added that amazing Spanish players have featured for Arsenal in the past and Mari will not be an exception at the club.
His words, “I think Pablo Mari will fit in very well at Arsenal and in the Premier League,”
“He is a good player that struggled to impose himself in Europe as a loaned player of Man City for a while, but he really convinced people being part of a great Flamengo team last season.
“He is very complete as a defender – capable of bringing the ball forward when necessary and a threat on set pieces. He has good passing skills as well and I liked what I saw from him.
“In Brazil, everyone has good opinion about him, and he could be a very successful option for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta.”
“There have been some wonderful Spanish players to play for Arsenal.
“Fabregas, Cazorla, Reyes… they’re all great Spanish players that have passed through this club.
“One of those legends that we have with us now is Mikel. He was a very important player for Arsenal and now this is a new project for him as coach, but I think he’s going to repeat what he achieved when he was a player.
“Personally I look up to him and the career he had at Arsenal. That’s what I’ve been working for all these years.
“I’d love to be at Arsenal for a long time and I hope to give the Gunners some victories to celebrate again.”
