Thomas Partey has sent Granit Xhaka an emotional farewell message after the latter's Arsenal exit was confirmed.
Xhaka spent seven years at the Emirates Stadium, enduring a rollercoaster of a relationship with the Gunners fanbase. But in his final campaign in north London, he established himself as something of a cult hero.
In fact, he enjoyed a highly productive season in terms of output, scoring seven Premier League goals and providing a further seven assists - impressive numbers when you consider he occupied a central midfield role. But the 30-year-old decided it was time for a fresh start, leaving for Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen.
