Former Arsenal man Alex Iwobi has written a heartfelt goodbye message to Arsenal after completing a deadline day move to fellow Premier League side Everton.
The 23-year-old has spent his entire career at the Emirates Stadium, coming up through the youth team to break into the first team squad.
He left the club in the dying hours of the transfer window, signing a five-year contract at Goodison Park in a deal that is believed to be worth £40m to Arsenal.
The Nigeria international has now taken to social media to send his goodbyes to the club who he has made almost 150 appearances for.
"I Grew Up Dreaming Of Playing For Arsenal, Following In The Footsteps Of Some Of My Hero’s [sic]. I’m Proud To Say That @ 23 I’ve Achieved One Of My Dreams.
"From Playing For Arsenal Kids To 149 Senior Appearances. It Was An Honour To Play For The Club I Supported As A Boy. I’ve Enjoyed Every Minute Of It.
"So Many People To Thank, Far Too Many Individual Names To Mention But I Thank You All ! So Many Great Moments, From Scoring My First Goal At The Emirates To Scoring My Last Goal In Baku.
"You’ve All Played A Big Part In My 17 Fantastic Years. Special Thanks To The Fans, My Team Mates, The Support Staff, My Coaches Arsene Wenger and Unai Emery Who Put Faith In Me And Gave Me The Opportunity to Grow As A Player And A Man.
"BIG Love To A Special Club. Arsenal Will Be Forever In My Heart."
Iwobi could make his Toffees debut when Everton travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
