Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger backs Gabriel Paulista to prove he has what it takes to adapt his style to suit the Premier League.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that Gabriel Paulista has the quality to adapt to the Premier League after completing his move to the Emirates Stadium earlier this week.

The 24-year-old defender could make his debut against Aston Villa just days after leaving Villarreal, and Wenger believes that his newest signing proved in Spain that he can adapt to different styles of football.

"He is a promising Brazilian defender," the Gunners boss told Arsenal Player. "Just 24 years old and we got the work permit. He has good pace, is good in the challenge and is tall, so he can adapt to English football.

"Maybe it will take some time to adapt completely, but overall it is very good to have him. This season he has played every game for Villarreal and we have seen him many times. We are convinced about his quality.

"I like the players who come from nowhere and show they can adapt. From Brazil, he has adapted to Spain. That means he has already made it and adapted in another country, and so that is another important quality."

Gabriel made 50 appearances in an 18-month spell with Villarreal.
