‘I’ll forever be grateful to the boss’

Danny Welbeck described Arsène Wenger as 'a legend of the game' after featuring in the boss’ final ever match in charge of us.

The striker was part of the historic 1-0 win over Huddersfield, coming on in the second half, and afterwards he was asked about Wenger's 22-year reign.

"It’s a long period to sum up," Welbeck said.

"I think obviously he’s a legend of the game because of what he’s done for the Premier League, world football and not just Arsenal Football Club, so that says it all really. I’m very fortunate to have played under him and been through his guidance so the way that he’s supported me and kept faith in me, I’ll be forever grateful.
