Departing Arsenal star reveals that he refused to join the lap of honour on the final day of the season as he was too emotional about leaving the club

A player who is leaving Arsenal this summer refused to join in the lap of honour on the final day of the season.

The star revealed that he didn't take part due to being too emotional about his departure.

Mikel Arteta's squad held a lap of honour at Emirates Stadium after their final game of the season against Everton.

The Gunners came close to winning the Premier League title but ended up finishing two points behind champions Manchester City.

For one player this was his final campaign with Arsenal following a lengthy spell at the club.
