‘I’m a leader when things are difficult’

We secured our third signing of the summer on Thursday as we announced the arrival of Simone Boye Sorensen from Bayern Munich.

The tough-tackling defender has a wealth of international experience with Denmark, winning 61 caps to date - but what can we expect from our new No 20?

“I really like to have the ball,” Simone told Arsenal.com. “I like to find the midfielder or the attacker. I like to use my head and I like to be a leader and go in front when things are difficult.

“It feels really good to be here. I needed a new start and Arsenal reached out to me. Of course Arsenal is a huge club, one of the biggest here in England.

“They have a really good setup, the team's really good and it's really professional here, so there were a lot of things that appealed to me.”
