The club didn't want to let me go and it took a long time for them to agree to the transfer. I was valued there; no one wanted to get rid of me. Arteta didn't want me to leave for Portugal either, so I never felt unwanted. The decision to leave was entirely mine. I wanted to play, but with Gabriel and Saliba ahead of me, the chances were small.
FC Porto are waiting for Arsenal to decide in the next 24/48h on Jakub Kiwior proposal worth 26m. Kiwior was never gonna travel tonight as it depends on Arsenal, still deciding internally. Green light might also depend on talks with Bayer for Piero Hincapie.
