The Switzerland defender has joined Milan a season-long deal, ending a summer of speculation about his future.
He will join former Gunners team-mate Mathieu Flamini who moved to the San Siro earlier in the summer.
"I am really happy to play in a team like Milan," Senderos told the club's official website.
"For me, this is a dream come true. Everything has happened really fast, in a week.
"Everything here is incredible. The people are very easy going and they have made me feel like I'm at home."
Senderos, 23, paid tribute to Arsenal, the club he joined as a teenager in 2003, but believes even better times could be ahead.
"In the past I have achieved some success," he said. "To have become European Champion with the Under-17 national team and of course, at the age of 18 to have arrived to a big club as Arsenal.
"In London I have learned a lot. It has been a life school and (manager Arsene) Wenger has helped me.
"Today I can say I have reached a superior level by coming to this club. I want to give 100% and improve every day.
"This team wants to return to the Champions League and I will do everything I can to help."
Milan will play in the UEFA Cup this season having finished a disappointing fifth in Serie A last term.

"I lurve u Senderos. Hope the loan move will do u good at Milan, and u'll return as a better defender for us =)"

"Senderos has been a good player for us, he's been exposed in big games but he's very young and will learn with experience. How many top teams have a 20 or 21 yr old centre back? Not many. He has the heart and desire that is needed, just lacks a little finesse. You'll be welcomed back Phil don't worry about that."

"jamieloughboro do your homework mate, Sivestre will be 4th choice behind Gallas, Toure and Djourou maybe even Alex Song. Silvestre is there mainly to cover for Clichy and play the odd game if Gallas and Toure go down"

"Senderos is too error prone, but Silvestre is good cover for us, he might not get many games but his experience is good and he will pass that to the ypoung boys"

"its fine all you arsenal fans. you have a like for like replacement in silvestre!! its no good getting rid of your rubbish players if you replace them with equally error-prone clones...."

"With Djurou showing better balance than Senderos and the arrival of old man Sylvestre, there was no room for Senderos. I believe Wenger wants to give Senderos a second chance in getting a different experience under his belt before deciding on whether or not he can return back to Arsenal for when old man Callas and Sylvestre retire!!"

"Great signing Ac Milan this is the ideal replacement for Maldini!!!! You can have him after he wins you the uefa cup and adebayor for £50m, 30 for ade and 20m for the donkey!!!"
