Lämnar Arsenal – bekräftar på Instagram

Stephan Lichtsteiner, 35, lämnar Arsenal.

Det berättar den schweiziske högerbacken på Instagram.

”Det var en stor utmaning och erfarenhet utan ett lyckligt slut, tyvärr”, skriver 35-åringen.

Lichtsteiner skrev på ett ettårskontrakt med Londonklubben förra sommaren, men det blir alltså ingen kontraktsförlängning.

Högerbacken gjorde totalt 23 matcher och ett mål under sin tid i Arsenal.

Dear Gunners We were close to add an important chapter to this amazing club's history. But to be close … is unfortunately not good enough. This is hard to accept. I'm very disappointed. It was our objective to bring Arsenal back on the highest international level and to win trophies. Both belong to this great club. I wish my teammates, my coach and his staff, all hard-working employees and all Gunner fans simply the best! I'm confident our team can complete our mission next season! I loved to be a part of this club. It was a great challenge and experience without a happy end, unfortunately. Thank you very much for your overwhelming support! It was much appreciated! See you Stephan #COYG #WeAreTheArsenal #YaGunnersYa #ThankYou
