Silvestre secures Arsenal switch from United

Wed 20th, August 2008

London, England (Sports Network) - Arsenal have completed the surprise signing of France international defender Mikael Silvestre for an undisclosed fee from Manchester United.

The versatile 31-year-old had been at Old Trafford for nine years, making just over 350 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions.

He told his new club's official website: "I've spent a large part of my career at United, the last nine years, and I'll remember that time fondly but feel I'm ready for a new challenge.

"Arsenal is known for playing technical and skilful football and has a young but experienced squad.

"I'm really excited about this next stage of my career, hopefully playing my part in helping the club to new successes."

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger added: "We have a strong squad, but a young squad and Mikael's versatility, experience and caliber will provide the extra depth we need to reinforce our challenge for honors this season."
