Baptista keen to extend Gunners stay
4 september 2006, 16:40
Julio Baptista is yet to play in an Arsenal shirt but the Brazil forward is ready to commit his future to the club after enjoying his first taste of the Emirates Stadium.
Baptista came off the bench to play the last 18 minutes of Brazil's 3-0 win over Argentina on Sunday, and got a huge reception from the home support. Having joined Arsenal on a season-long loan from Real Madrid in exchange for Jose Antonio Reyes on Friday, Baptista is now hoping for a similar introduction to the Barclays Premiership.
"I was very happy to be so welcomed in my home ground," Baptista said through an interpreter. "I hope to get as big a welcome in the league. I am very confident I can be a big addition for the team."
