[Tweets] RvP, Fabregas, Adams, Wilshere & more react online after Wenger quits Arsenal

By mac14 on April 20, 2018

The likes of Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Tony Adams and Jack Wilshere have been paying tribute to Arsene Wenger after he announced he’ll be leaving Arsenal at the end of the season.

Amid mounting pressure from the Arsenal fans following another disappointing domestic campaign, Wenger announced in a shock statement on Friday morning that he’s leaving this summer.

A growing number of supporters have become disillusioned under Wenger and we’ve seen the Emirates half empty during recent home games so the writing was on the wall.

There has also been speculation circulating that members of the board also feel it’s time for change and no doubt it all played a part in Wenger’s decision to end his 22 year reign in north London.

Tributes have been flooding in from players and managers all around the globe with several past and present Arsenal players also taking to social media to share their thoughts on Wenger’s decision.

The likes of Fabregas, van Persie, Adams, Kanu, Lauren, Bacary Sagna, and Ray Parlour have all posted heartfelt messages while current players like Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Hector Bellerin, Mohamed Elneny, Per Mertesacker and Alex Iwobi have also posted tributes to the boss.

Check out what the players have had to say below:

Wow. I never expected that but it shows the great dignity and class of the man. I will never forget his guidance and support, his tutelage and mentorship. He had faith in me from day one and I owe him a lot, he was like a father figure to me who always pushed me to be the best.

To the man who gave me my chance as a 16 year old, and showed unbeliveable faith and commitment towards me. Always a gentleman, like a father through tough times in my career. He always believed in me when most people didn't. Thank you for everything boss! It's down to us now to end your era right. #onearsenewenger

This man just didn’t gave me the opportunity to wear the Arsenal shirt..to discover the premier league.. to learn and improve by his side.. BUT this man changed my life.. i would always be grateful for what he has done for me and my family .. especially when i was going through hard personal moments. Your words mean a lot to me and i wanna take time to remind everyone he has made Arsenal bigger no matter what people are thinking about today.. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Coach 🙏🏾 #Arsenal #ArseneWenger #emiratesstadium #powerfulpicture #sadday
