I was in the same boat. His Chelsea stint was not great and the fit is a bit questionable at Arsenal. But, going for young players that showed great potential (e.g. Ødegaard, Jesus) is paying off. So if he can add depth and competition to the first team, it might be worth the price.
Hoping Mikel sees something in him that seemingly nobody else does. Feels like such an expensive transfer to have focused on, hey ho, here we go though.

Very skeptical as an Arsenal fan, hope he get the skills in Leverkusen back

I think he is underrated and will do well for Arsenal. Just don’t rely on him to score and he will do just fine.
