Arsenal make another announcement – star delighted and excited with Gunners deal

Alexei Rojas has signed his first professional contract at Arsenal – the Gunners have confirmed..

Goalkeeper Alexei made 11 appearances across the academy sides last season, including all six matches in the UEFA Youth League group stage, and is a player that the Gunners coaches have very big hopes for in the coming season.

He has represented Colombia at international youth level, as well as Russia and England, and he has not admitted just how delighted and excited he was having agreed a deal with ARSENAL

Speaking to Arsenal.com, Alexei said: “It’s an unbelievable feeling. I feel so proud of myself and happy with the work that I’ve done over the last few years. It’s always been my dream from such a young age to finally become a professional footballer.

“Now I’m here it continues motivating me to keep working hard every day to reach my goal of becoming the best goalkeeper in the world.

“Arsenal is a club that has a very rich history and I’ve become very fond of it. It’s strong in my heart and everybody here has always made me feel so welcome, from the coaching staff to the cleaners, the chefs, the security guards, the groundsmen that make everything possible for us so that I’m able to just focus on the football.

“My family have always been there for me, supporting me through the high and low moments and without their support I couldn’t be where I am today, especially my father. He’s been giving me advice and helping me train, especially during the lockdown that we had.

‘I’m very grateful for everything that he’s done, I love him a lot and I love that he’s going to continue being on my journey with me.”
