On January 1, 2012, a rare sunny day in London, in an affluent neighbourhood of Islington, North London.
"Chen, this is the residence we arranged for you, this is only a twenty-minute drive from the Kearney Training Base and the Emirates Stadium."
"The surrounding facilities are also very good, if you are not satisfied, we can replace it for you."
Arsenal's chief scout, Steve Rowley, stood next to Chen Fan and introduced him to the three-storey villa in front of him.
Chen Fan did not answer quickly when he heard this, turned to look at Li Shuxin behind him, and asked her opinion with his eyes.
"I think it's nice here, quiet and pleasant."
Li Shuxin answered Chen Fan truthfully.
After Chen Fan won the Asian Footballer of the Year, Chen Fan was completely liberated.
There were no messy activities that he needed to participate in, but Li Shuxin refused.
During that time, many European teams were interested in Chen Fan.
However, in the end, Chen Fan went to London and entered Arsenal's Kearney training base for a medical examination.
All conjectures have just settled.
"Chen, if you decide to live here, then I will leave first, and you can tell my son Matthew anything in the future."
"Haha, you are the player I value the most so far, I hope you can have a good performance."
With that, Steve Raleigh drove away, leaving his son, young Matthew, messy in the wind.
As Arsenal's chief scout, Raleigh naturally has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to serve Chen Fan at any time.
He asked his son Steve Matthew, who works in the Arsenal club, to help Chen Fan and act as an intermediary between Chen Fan and Arsenal.
Just as Matthew and Chen Fan were the same age, Arsenal Club agreed to Raleigh's proposal.
"Hmph, this old Raleigh is a busy man, he calls me Little Matthew all day, I'm not small..." Chen
Fan and the two looked at Matthew complaining about his father, also dumb.
"Two, don't worry, as long as Mr. Chen Fan is in Arsenal, I will fully serve you!"
Matthew said for a while, but also reacted that the occasion was inappropriate, and turned his head to Chen Fan and the two of them squarely.
Chen Fan felt that Matthew was very interesting, and also smiled and nodded.
Then Matthew took Chen Fan and the two into the villa in front of him.
The interior of the villa cannot be said to be extravagant and luxurious, but it is a simple and practical style, which is very in line with Chen Fan's taste.
There is a flower garden in the front yard of the villa, and next to the flower garden are two parking sheds.
The Arsenal Club is still very thoughtful, knowing that Chen Fan's agent is his girlfriend, and specially arranged it.
Then what impressed Chen Fan the most was the backyard of the villa, where there was a small futsal size football field.
According to Matthew, someone here will come every two days to help Chen Fan renovate the lawn, and now Chen Fan can practice at home.
"Hey! Are you our new neighbors? The
three who were admiring the football field in the backyard heard someone calling them in the courtyard next door and turned their heads.
It was found that it was two teenagers of about ten years old, one black and one white, looking at them.
"That's right, the two of us will live here in the future, please advise me."
Chen Fan took Li Shuxin's hand and said to the two teenagers.
"Which football team do you support, and if you support Arsenal, I think we can be friends."
"Yes, we support Arsenal and the reason we are here is Arsenal."
"Wow! That's great! I think..."
Chen Fan chatted with them like this, and during the conversation he learned the names of the two teenagers.
The black boy is called Bukayo Saka, the white boy is called Smith Rowe, and Chen Fan calls them Little Saka and Little Smith.
Chen Fan sounded a little familiar with these two names, and thought about it carefully.
This! These are not the two British Emperor stars in the future!
Fate was such a coincidence that Chen Fan met the two of them and became friends.
"Chen, are you going to go to the Emirates Stadium with us in the afternoon? I heard them say that there will be a new signing ceremony today, and it seems that they are also Chinese people like you.
"No, little Saka, I have some things to do this afternoon, but we may go when we are done."
Chen Fan didn't know why a trace of evil interest appeared, wanting to see the shocked appearance of the little Saka two.
......
Time passed quickly, and in the afternoon, an Audi Beetle arrived at Arsenal's Kearney training base.
This time sitting in the main driver is Chen Fan, who used his previous free time to test his driver's license, and when he came to the UK, his driver's license can still be used.
However, before he could think about what car to buy, he first drove Li Shuxin's Beetle.
At the gate of the Kearney training base, there were long guns and short cannons waiting, and they were all excited to see the arrival of this Beetle.
Arsenal's new signing has arrived!
Arsenal, as a giant team in the Premier League, although it has fallen into a predicament of no crown in recent years, has been stable in the top four of the Premier League for many years, and its influence is still very huge, whether it is in the UK or overseas.
In Huaxia, Arsenal were the teams with the most fans before.
Now when Chen Fan officially joins, the number of fans can only be said to be riding in Huaxia, and the attention is directly full.
Therefore, such a giant team has ushered in new signings, which is naturally very eye-catching.
Chen Fan lowered the window and waved to the reporters outside the window, and drove into the Kearney training base.
The Kearney Training Base is not only the daily training base of Arsenal, including youth teams at all levels, but also the headquarters of Arsenal Club, where the daily affairs of the club are carried out.
Arsenal FC general manager Edelman was already on board.
"Chen! Welcome again to our base, the medical examination report you did yesterday came out, there is no problem at all, you are in good physical condition!
Edelman said with a smile to Chen Fan as he led the two into the headquarters office building.
Then Edelman led the two into a room dedicated to posing for the signing ceremony, with a signing letter on the table.
Chen Fan and Edelman sat down side by side and picked up the piece of paper together.
The photographer in front clicked a few photos and it was done.
This is just a pose, and the real negotiation and signing is completed early.
It was Li Shuxin who negotiated with Arsenal after asking Chen Fan's opinion.
In the contract, Chen Fan has a transfer fee of 10.01 million euros, signed for four years, and has a weekly salary of 30,000 pounds, with various terms.
Such as: ten, twenty, thirty goals in the season; Season Golden Boot; Assist King; Player of the Year in each competition; Help the team win various championships and more.
Don't look at these terms, after Li Shuxin proposed it, the Arsenal club did not refuse, and there was no need to give money if it was not completed.
If it happens, the club's gains will far outweigh the payouts.
Back in the small room where he posed, Edelman stretched out his hand to Chen Fan.
"Welcome to Arsenal!"
