Wenger explains how he felt Arsenal ‘slip away’ during revolutionary era in north London

The Frenchman enjoyed 22 memorable years with the Gunners, with the club transformed into a global superpower over the course of his iconic reign

Arsene Wenger has admitted to feeling Arsenal “slip away” from him towards the end of his iconic reign in north London.

The Frenchman spent 22 years with the Gunners, having been brought to the Premier League as a relative unknown in 1996.

By the time he departed in 2018, three Premier League title triumphs – including the ‘Invincibles’ campaign of 2003-04 – had been enjoyed, along with seven FA Cup successes and a Champions League final appearance.
