Arsenal defender Gabriel Paulista has said that he feels settled at the club and his integration at the Emirates Stadium has been made easy by the support of his team-mates.

Gabriel arrived at the Premier League giants from Spanish La Liga outfit Villarreal in January and he has made five appearances for Arsene Wenger’s side thus far.




His performances have seen him earn his first international call-up for the Brazil national team as he is part of Dunga’s squad which is scheduled to play France in a friendly at the Stade de France tonight. The five-time World Cup winners will play Chile in another friendly on Sunday.

The 24-year-old feels that his Arsenal team-mates have been very helpful in his early days at the Emirates and their friendliness has made things easier for him.
 


“My biggest problem is just speaking but in terms of settling, I am totally adapted here at the club and with my team-mates, who are all wonderful and friendly”, Gabriel told the Arsenal Magazine.

“It’s a family club. Everyone that works at the club is respectful and very attentive; they are always at your disposal.

“So I am very happy and so is my family”, he concluded.

Arsenal are sitting third in the Premier League and with eight rounds of matches to go before the season draws to a close, they are strong favourites to qualify for the Champions League next season.
