Arsenal have confirmed that signing of Greek international, Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Borussia Dortmund. The 30 year old has signed a long term contract for a undisclosed fee reported to be around £16m.
He becomes Unai Emery's third signing after the arrivals of goalkeeper, Benard Leno from Bayer Leverkusen and Swiss defender Stephan Lichtsteiner from Juventus on a free transfer.
Speaking to the Arsenal website on his signing, he said;
"I feel very good, everything is special,"
"It is a beautiful moment and I am very happy that for the next years I will be here. Arsenal are one of the three biggest teams in the Premier League.
"I'm a normal defender. I like to defend. I like that my team doesn't take goals. I like a zero in the defence and I will do everything to help to achieve this goal."
He becomes the third straight Borussia Dortmund player to join Arsenal in seven months after the arrivals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in January.
