Lover- Alessia Russo

4. Signing

I take a deep breath before I open my car and walk towards the main building. This is fucking mad. I'm doing it. I'm living my dream.

"Hello! I'm Jonas the head coach here at the arsenal!" Jonas greets as I walk in holding his hand out.

"Nice to meet you too!" I say and shake his smaller hand. We talk for a few minutes about when I'll be signing and when my signing will be announced. Due to my... popularity? I don't know if that the right word but since this is a big signing they wanna have a press conference. But today I'll be doing all the pre signing things as well as photos.

As we finish our discussion Jonas looks up at me and says "the media team will want to take you to the emirates for pictures would that be alright?"

"That would be great." I say with a smile. I'm finally gonna be in the emirates as a gunner.

Jonas nods and motions for me to follow him. As we walk he tells me I'll be signing my contract now and tomorrow I'll be shown around as well as meet the girls.

As Jonas walks me to the signing room I can't help but feel like I'm dreaming. Since I was a kid this has been my dream and now it's becoming a reality.

"I'm just delighted you've decided to join our club. I think you'll be a great fit here." Jonas says and we sit down.

"I hope so. I can't wait to see what we can do." I say with a nod.

I'll skip all the nitty gritty but after i do a physical and a few tests with the physicos.

Which went exceptionally well I change into some training gear with the arsenal badge on it. Before I go back to Jonas I take a second and look in the mirror. I can't help but smile when I see the arsenal badge in my chest. I walk out of the locker room with a smile on my face and I meet up with Jonas and some media. Time to put pen to paper.

I sign my contract. I'm officially a gunner.

"Alright that should be fine. If it's alright with you we'd like to take you to the emirates for some pictures in the full kit." The media manager says as we finsh taking pictures with the contract.

"Ya sounds good. Whatever you guys want." I say with a smile.

*time skip*

"Wow." I mutter to myself as I walk out onto the pitch at the emirates.

"Crazy right?"

"Yeah pretty special being here and being apart of it all." I say as I look around just taking it all in. Even empty it's crazy. I can't wait to play here. It's always been a dream of mine to walk out along side Lotte as a gunner.

After taking a bunch of pictures in the stands, on the pitch and even at the top of the stadium we finally head back to the training grounds. I say goodbye to all of the media crew who has been very polite and helpful today as I head to my car. Tomorrow I meet the girls...
