The ex-Juventus right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner joined Arsenal as a backup to Hector Bellerin, but after a promising start he seemed to be unable to keep up with the pace of the Premier League, and even when Bellerin got a long-term injury the Swiss could not hold down a place in Arsenal first team.
Although he came on a free transfer with a year contract, there was also an option for the Gunners to extend the deal for another year. It now seems clear that he will not be with us next season, and he has announced on Instagram that he was very disappointed with our end to the season…..
He came, he tried, he leaves disappointed, and he leaves disappointed Arsenal fans behind.
Good luck in the future Stephan
