Thomas Vermaelen has revealed that signing for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger will be the best day of his life.
Speaking to the Belgian press he expressed his great joy of playing under Arsene Wenger:
“Arsene Wenger stands for nice, attacking football and dares to work with young talents. That appeals to me enormously. Not that that tipped the scales though. When a club like Arsenal stands at your door, then you just go."
Vermaelen, who has been holidaying in Mauritius, also revealed that he will be flying into London on Friday morning to have his medical:
“On Friday I will fly to London to have my medical. After that I hope to put pen to paper. Boy I feel so proud, Arsenal is a fantastic club and one that, as a child, I enjoyed watching play.
“I am deeply impressed, it's really the best day of my life. Next year I will come face to face with the best strikers in the world. Unbelievable"
Arsenal will pay around £11.5m for Thomas who will be the third Belgian in the Premier League after Vincent Kompany of Manchester City and Marouane Fellaini of Everton.

WEHEY!
Errrr, isn't Steed Malbranque also a Belgian?
Andy, Steed is a Belgian born French footballer.
It's always great to have players who are excited about the prospect of playing for our club
great enthusiasm, lets hope the bugger can actually play
shud see the end to gallas or toure then still need sum height in there, maybe tht can come from a DMC if necesary
Doesn't necessarily mean the end of anything. Arsenal needed another quality centerback to cover for Gallas and even Djourou. He'll have to fight for his place to face those best strikers. I do hope he's the dog's bollocks, but he might just be bollocks.
I knew Wenger gets players at knockdown prices but Eleven pounds fifty is just ridiculous.
Richie De Laet is Belgian and plays for Man United
