David Luiz made a deadline day move across London to Arsenal where he signed a two-year contract after spending three seasons in a second stint with Chelsea.
He made his Arsenal debut last weekend in a 2-1 home win over Burnley.
"Everyone knows I was so happy in Chelsea and won many trophies there. I had a real honest conversation with Lamps and Lamps had different ideas for his plans for the year," Luiz told reporters.
"So the best way for me to respect the club where I can was to move on, try a new challenge and give him the opportunity to do his job.
"I'm so happy here as since the first day I felt welcome. This is a big club and I want to be here and see it shine on the pitch and outside."
Luiz said he could have remained at Stamford Bridge, where he had signed a new two-year contract extension at the end of last season after helping the club finish third in the league, but chose to seek a new challenge.
"I am a guy with ambition and that is why I moved," Luiz added. "I could have chosen a comfortable zone and got money and be cool and that is it.
"But I like a new a challenge and new things in my life."
U are welcome to my club
