Arsenal officially announced that the club signed a new professional contract with Ismail Kabia.

Ismail Kabia is 19 years old and plays as a right winger, Dutch. He played an official match for the first team of Arsenal, last season's third round of the British League Cup, in which the players came on as a substitute.

Kabia talks about first-team debut:

"For me personally, this is really the moment every kid dreams of. Although I didn't get too many touches in those eight minutes, it was already incredible to just step on the court. Playing in front of so many fans is really just a kind of pressure, but in the end these pressures can create a diamond. So, I think if you can play under pressure, you can play anywhere."

Kabia talks about how she felt last season and goals for this season:

"I'm satisfied with the results I've achieved, and for me personally, it's a good season, and I think I've achieved something I never thought I could achieve at the beginning of the season. I think my main season The goal is to score more goals and contribute more assists. In addition, I think my overall performance is quite comprehensive, but I feel that I need to work hard on the final goal. "

Kabia talks about going to Hong Kong and Singapore with the team to play preseason games in Hong Kong and Singapore:

"I think this journey is very physically demanding. Whether it is physically, technically and tactical, the style of play the coach now is a big challenge for us, because we are obviously pursuing to reach a higher level. So I think it's very difficult, but I do learn a lot from it. I think all the players are very helpful to me, and they will help you on the court. If you make mistakes, they won't blame you too much. I think this is a good environment."
