Samuel Mensah insists drawing Arsenal in Europa League is good for Ostersunds

Published on: 11 December 2017

Ghana defender Samuel “Mensiro” Mensah is confident Ostersunds will cause the biggest upset in the UEFA Europa League after the Swedish side were paired against English giants Arsenal on Monday.

Ostersunds finished group J of the Europa Cup as runners up to Spanish side Athletico Madrid and will welcome Arsenal in the first leg of the tie in Swden on 16th February.

Following the draw on Monday, the defender revealed the club is poised for the gunners despite being a difficult draw.

"It's a tough but good draw for Ostersunds. We are a small club and I believe playing against a big club like Arsenal will demand a lot from us because as you know, they play good football and have players who can change games at any time," Mensah told GHANASoccernet.com

"But, football has thought us that anything can happen on the field of play so we'll go into the game with the same confidence we showed during the group stages. We will give them respect but we won't fear them one bit, that I can assure you and we'll be ready to face them on that day.
