Nigerian striker Peter Olayinka who currently plays for Slavia Prague has stated clearly that he is ready to help his team overcome Arsenal in their Europa League clash on Thursday night.
The Premier League side will be playing at the Emirates stadium in the first leg of their quarterfinal clash against Slavia Prague.
Already, Peter Olayinka and his teammates have knocked out Premier League side Leicester City in the Europa League as they face another big task against an English club.
While speaking ahead of his side's game against Arsenal, Peter Olayinka made it clear that he is ready for the Gunners and his team would get impressive result.
“I am focused on the match and I am looking forward to it. It’s great to be in such a stadium.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Arsenal are planning to offer Alexandre Lacazette to Barcelona or Juventus to avoid losing him for free.
The Frenchman has refused to sign an extension to remain at the Emirates Stadium despite having about 18 months left on his current deal.
However, the Gunners will be looking to cash in on him and use the funds for another quality transfer when he leaves.
He has been a major part of Mikel Arteta's squad this campaign scoring nine goals and two assists in 23 Premier League appearances.
In spite of his exploits with the North Londoners this campaign, Lacazette might be eyeing a move away from his present club for a fresh challenge elsewhere.
