'Emery told me I wasn't needed at Arsenal' - Reine-Adelaide reflects on Gunners rejection

The 21-year-old left the Emirates Stadium after being deemed surplus to requirements last summer, but he has since thrived with Ligue 1 outfit Angers

Angers midfielder Jeff Reine-Adelaide has revealed that Unai Emery told him he wasn't needed at Arsenal when he took the managerial reigns in 2018.

The 21-year-old joined the Gunners in 2015 after beginning his senior career with Lens but made just eight senior appearances in his three years at the club.

The Frenchman was shipped off on loan to Angers in January 2018, before making his move permanent the following summer and has since managed to earn his stripes in his homeland.
