of his time at the club.

quality, not only on the pitch but off it too. Support them next season, because they deserve it.
“I will miss you. Thank you for being such an important part of my life. I hope to see you soon.”
“I will always be an Arsenal fan. It is what unites us in every cell of our body, those dreams and worries. ” said Wenger.
