Smilla Holmberg has opened up and admitted that she couldnt wait to join Arsenal after it was revealed just last week that the defender joined the club from Hammarby IF
Speaking to the club at the Sobha Realty Training Centre in her first club interview, Smilla said: “Incredible and very special. ARSENAL is a huge club with high standards and it’s unreal to be honest.
“I think everyone, especially me, has grown up watching Arsenal play. It’s very special and I’m so proud to be here and can’t wait to get started.
“I think it’s just something special with Arsenal; the fans, the environment to develop here as a player. I think it’s a familiar place to be in and it’s something special. It’s hard to put into words but Arsenal is something really special.
“I felt like this year I’ve taken big steps in my career. I felt like it was the time for me to try something else and step out of my comfort zone. When I had my first conversation with Arsenal, I felt like the belief and the ambitions are things that we can build together.
‘I want to see how far I can go and I think Arsenal is the best place to be in. My dream has always been to play in Arsenal, so it’s fantastic.
“Of course, it’s a difference and the first time I’m moving from home and moving abroad. It will be special but also very fun and I think this is an opportunity for me to grow both as a person but also as a football player. I’m excited to come here every day and be better on everything.”
“I think Arsenal is the right place to be if I want to develop and the environment here is great for players to develop. Both individually, to grow as a person and as a player, and also, win titles with ARSENAL. I think that’s every footballer’s dream, to win titles, especially here at Arsenal for me.”

This is a massive move for Smilla to make and one that will hopefully work out for the defender, she will need to work hard as she is now playing for one of the biggest teams in womens football.
Fans will be looking forward to see how the defender develops over the next few months.
