He then said: "It does not matter what will happen with my new team, I'll never find the affection I was shown at Arsenal.

"In part, that's because I don't think my legs will let me play for another club for eight years. You always return to the place you belong to and so I hope one day to be able to work with that club. I have this club in my blood."

The 30-year-old said he had followed Arsenal since leaving for Spain in the close season. "I'm proud to have played for Arsenal and to be a fan of theirs," he added.
