He will provide cover to an Arsenal defense that is already without Calum Chambers and Shkodran Mustafi who are both out with injuries. Pablo is 26 years old and a left-footer. He was previously signed by Pep Guardiola Manchester City but never played an official match for the Premier League Champions.

Upon his signing, Pablo promised to give his best for the club and assured the fans that they will enjoy his football.

“I’m a very professional player. I like working hard every day to achieve objectives. One thing I can control is working hard on a daily basis to help my team-mates to win football matches and repay the faith that Mikel and Arsenal have shown me by signing me to play here, so that’s my main objective. I want to take it one day at a time and achieve big things at Arsenal,” Pablo said.

He is the first signing of the Mikel Arteta era and the first in the January Transfer Window. Arsenal fans will get the chance to see him play when the Gunners visit Burnley on Sunday in the English Premier League.
