Szczesny siger farvel: Jeg så Seaman, Henry og Bergkamp

Den polske keeper Wojciech Szczesny er skiftet til den italienske klub Juventus. Målmanden skrev onsdag under på en fire-årig kontrakt med italienerne og dermed slutter en tid i England, London og Arsenal. 

Wojciech Szczesny kom til Arsenal som 16-årig, og i 2009 fik han debut på førsteholdet. Siden da er han røget ind og ud af holdet, og de seneste to sæsoner har han været udlejet til AS Roma, hvor han har gjort det fortrinligt.

Den 27-årige målmand er nu fortid hos The Gunners og han siger derpå farvel med denne lange Instagram-besked, der sender tankerne tilbage på barndommen i Polen, hvor han drømte om Arsenal med Seaman, Henry og Bergkamp.

I remember being a young boy in Poland, watching David Seaman, Thierry Henry, Dennis Berkamp and others play for Arsenal. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get a chance to play for the club I supported as a little kid. When I was approached by Arsenal in 2005 my world changed forever. I began my journey as a 16 year old boy at the Arsenal's academy, trying to one day become a first team player, going out for evening runs in East Barnet with Jack Wilshere. Little did we know then, that couple years later we'd beat Barcelona in the Champions League and wear the no.1 and no.10 shirts. It has been over 11 years since I became an Arsenal player and I never thought the day I leave this club would come. Everything that I am and everything that I have, I owe to Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, Liam Brady, David Court, Bob Arber, Steve Bould, Neil Banfield, Mike Salmon, Tony Roberts, Gerry Peyton, Pat Rice and many others. Words can't describe my gratitude to these people and love for this club. Today I move on, ready for the new challenge in my life, taking with me only the good memories and bag of expierience. I leave hopeful that those days of Berkamp,Henry, Seaman and others are soon to return to Emirates Stadium and Arsenal get back to winning the Premier League. I may not be an Arsenal player no more but I will carry the Arsenal name with me wherever I go and I will do so with great pride. Once a Gunner, always a Gunner! ❤
