ARSENAL new boy Cohen Bramall insists the hard work is only just beginning after landing a dream move.
The left-back signed from non-league Hednesford Town after a successful trial and is determined to force his way into the Gunners’ first team.
Cohen, 20, was featured on Soccer AM setting up a goal with a stunning rabona and is hoping to showcase his skills at the highest level.
He told SkySports News: “It’s gonna be a big task but I think I can do it.
“Over the next six months they’re going to work on me physically and mentally and hopefully I’ll break into the first team.”
Cohen was watched by his mum as he was introduced to the Arsenal squad on his first day in North London.
