Gabriel
Paulista has hailed the chance to play in the Premier League as a dream
come true after joining Arsenal from Villarreal, with striker Joel
Campbell going to the Spanish club on loan for the rest of the season.
The
24-year-old Brazilian centre back was granted a work permit despite not
yet having played for his country and joins Arsene Wenger's side for
£11.2million on a four-and-a-half year deal. 'I want to thank God for
the opportunity,' he told the club's website. 'Thanks to God, this
wonderful club came to me, and they can count on me to be able to help
everybody here.'
Arsenal
also confirmed that Campbell's loan deal was complete, but delivered
the surprise news that the 22-year-old Costa Rica striker had signed a
new, long-term contract before heading to Spain.
