How Louis reacted to joining Arsenal

“Many things, because I went there – it was my decision,” he said in 2023.

“A club that had a lot of potential, but lost a lot of hunger to earn titles.

“I remember my first match with the players and with all, we were talking about our goals for this season – no one talked about winning the Premier League.

“I said,” stop! We’re just at the beginning of the season, the first thing you have to have ambition, you have to think about the title! “

“And after that, four were the top four. After a year I started understanding, a club that didn’t get used to victory for a long time, so they didn’t start to believe.

“And then Michael Artta came, and Arta changed a lot in the club and he began to believe in the process.

“The club again gained the right mentality under Arsen Wenger, they gained it in a good way.

“And now I’m happy because I see a lot of young players I first tried to help them, and I believe that at the beginning of your career, you have to get great things.

“I am happy about them because they are now thinking about this way – at the end of the day was a great moment in my career.”
