Mixed feelings on this. Obviously it's great that he won the league with us. Yet still I can't help but feel a little disappointed at how things turned out for him, especially with how thrilled he seemed to be to join us last year. Clearly Arteta just didn't rate him in terms of playing ability. Maybe his biggest contribution was just behind the scenes.
Whatever the case, it's a low impact departure. Don't even know why I put so much thought into it lol
In one interview Saka en Rice mentioned what his impact was.
Like you I feel Arteta could have used him more often, but had his reasons (good or bad) not to. In the end they both won the title and that is what counts.
Wish him the best.
So glad for him he's leaving with a medal, which impressive.
As only 344 out of more than 4800 players have won the Premier League title since its start.
