Arsenal signing Mohamed Elneny got straight down to business by training with his new team-mates after finally completing his £5million move from Basle.
Elneny, 23, completed his medical last week and had been awaiting international clearance before completing the switch from Switzerland to north London.
The Egyptian midfielder was photographed taking part in his first training session with the club on Thursday and has immediately set his sights on a potential treble this season.
'It is an indescribable feeling, I am really glad of course,' Elneny told Arsenal Player. 'Arsenal is one of the world's greatest teams, and I am very keen to participate positively with my new team, God willing, and to give my best for the team and for myself.
'I would like to tell [the fans] that, although you have not seen much of me, I promise I will contribute positively with the team. I am hoping that we win the Premier League and cup this season, and the Champions League as well.
'Mr Wenger is a highly respected manager and one of the world's best managers. It is my honour to be trained under his management.'
A full international, Elneny is an intelligent reader of the game in midfield while offering tireless energy in the middle of the park.
He could be contention for Arsenal's clash with Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday and has been assigned 35 as his squad number.
Manager Wenger added: 'He can be box to box and be a holding midfielder so that is for us very promising. We wanted a versatile player and I wanted a player who can play defensive but can as well play to box to box.
'His strengths are his technical level, his vision, his intelligence, his disciplined attitude and his physical attitude to compete at a high level. I think he has the physical qualities to play at the top level.
'Where he needs to adapt is to the challenges, the force needed in the Premier League to survive. I think that could demand a little bit of adaptation. But overall I think he has all the attributes to do well.'
Following the Barclays Premier League draw at Anfield, Wenger had revealed: 'Elneny will of course join us. He has joined us. We will see if he can qualify for Sunday.'
A statement on the club website said: 'The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes. Everyone at Arsenal would like to welcome Mohamed to the club.'
Elneny is expected to be their only January signing, though right back Mathieu Debuchy could leave after asking Wenger for a move.
The 23-year-old made nearly 100 appearances for Basle while winning three consecutive Swiss Super League titles.
His performances in Europe have been particularly impressive in that time, starring in victories against Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Wenger could also have star winger Alexis Sanchez available for the Britannia Stadium clash, with the Chile international set to undergo a fitness test on Saturday.
The Frenchman added: 'He will have a definite test on Saturday. It's not impossible that he plays.'
