In his post on Instagram, which contained a video montage of his best bits at the the club, the Chilean thanked Arsenal staff, players and fans, and stated that contrary to some people's views, he gave his all until the very end.

However, one tidbit that has no doubt angered Gunners fans is the fact that he details a conversation he had with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and says he left for a new club for the same reason.

Henry is undoubtedly one of the greatest players ever to pull on the Arsenal shirt but his rapport with the fans could change after this!
