"There are so many people I need to thank - the managers I played for, all my team-mates and the staff behind the scenes. And I especially want to thank all of you. Everyone knows we've been through some tough times. But we came through them together - and I'll never ever forget the feeling I had each time we won the FA Cup or whenever I heard you singing my name. Pure goosebumps!
"I will always carry Arsenal in my heart. Once a Gunner, always a Gunner. Thank you ❤️."
Meanwhile, Odegaard and Zinchenko took to comments section and replied with the same message as they wrote "legend".
