He said: 'I am very honoured and I feel very happy to be at Arsenal. It is a dream to be here and I am really proud to be an Arsenal player.
'Now I just want to show how good I am and prove myself. In my opinion this is a great club, now I have to show what I can do on the pitch.
'I will do my best, I will never give up, I will show heart, I will give everything and I hope the fans will support me.'

Wenger, who is also adding defender Andre dos Santos and Per Mertesacker to his squad, admitted he was relieved to seal the deal.
He said: 'We are delighted to have signed Chu. He will add true quality to our attacking forces and will be a valuable addition to the squad.'
