Illan Meslier on the opportunity, conversations with Mikel Arteta and much more! | FIRST INTERVIEW

Our new signing Illan Meslier says he arrives at the club with an "anger and determination" to demonstrate his ability and help us lift more trophies.

The 26-year-old former France youth international had been with Leeds United since 2019, though found himself out of favour last season, having been their undisputed No. 1 for the previous five years. After joining us as a free agent to become our first signing of the summer, Illan spoke about his pride and excitement of joining the Premier League champions, and he can’t wait to get down to work with his teammates ahead of our title defence.

“I’m extremely, extremely happy,” he said in his welcome interview. “It's a great day for me because I’ve just joined the champions. It's the biggest club here in England, so I'm very happy to join this massive club, and it’s also a massive opportunity for me. I'm extremely happy to join and to try to do the back-to-back.”
