- Stephan Lichtsteiner has confirmed he is leaving Arsenal in the summer
- The Swiss international joined the Gunners from Juventus last season
- Lichtsteiner struggled with injuries this season but made 10 starts in the league
Stephan Lichtsteiner has confirmed he will leave Arsenal this summer after spending just a season at the Emirates.
The Swiss international arrived the Emirates from Juventus on a free transfer last season.
The 35-year-old has struggled for regular game time, making just 10 Premier League starts despite an injury to first-choice right-back Hector Bellerin.
Lichtsteiner has admitted previously he may have to move on to extend his career and he has now penned an emotional message to the Gunners support on Instagram.
"Dear Gunners. We were close to add an important chapter to this amazing club's history. But to be close ... is unfortunately not good enough," he wrote."This is hard to accept. I'm very disappointed. It was our objective to bring Arsenal back on the highest international level and to win trophies. Both belong to this great club."I wish my teammates, my coach and his staff, all hard-working employees and all Gunner fans simply the best! I'm confident our team can complete our mission next season," he submitted.Source: Tuko.co.ke
