Hi Arsenal family, this is going to be really hard. This is without any doubt one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to take in my life to leave this football club. Arsenal is so much more than just a football club for me, it became my home, my second family, my safe place, a place I always wanted to return to and all I have in my heart right now are just beautiful memories I will always keep with me and I think the most important thing for me is as well the friendships and the relationships I've created with the people because that means so much more than just playing football.
