Leaving Arsenal was a good choice - Reine-Adelaide

Lyon midfielder Jeff Reine-Adelaide has insisted that leaving Arsenal to further his career at Angers was a good choice.

The Frenchman joined the Gunners from Lens in 2015 but found first-team opportunities limited, making just eight appearances for the senior team, all of which came in either the FA Cup or the Carabao Cup.

In the summer of 2018, new Arsenal boss Unai Emery allowed him to return to his homeland with Angers. Following an impressive season, he has been snapped up by Lyon.
