After almost seven years at this club, it’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me.
I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time.
I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club.
We didn’t just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career.
I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone.
This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt.

There’s a foul on todibo, mavropanos AND the West Ham goalie. But they rule it out for an arm across the goalie.
Fair play Arsenal it’s a huge result and guaranteed them the title but I don’t wanna hear winging about refs after that and the atleti game. They’re getting away with murder.
Declan Rice being booed by West Ham fans for captaining them to a European trophy, leaving on good terms, fetching a £105m fee, and not bad mouthing them since. Seems about right.
Been privileged to cover this club for over a decade, to live in the area for a decent wedge of that time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that pre-match.
If you’ve been an Arsenal fan long enough, you’ll know when people say “you were respected when you played beautiful football” it’s a complete lie. We were called soft, no “cojones”. They simply enjoyed that we were easy for their teams to bully, and now they hate that they can’t
European sides tend to be far more adventurous against Arsenal, which naturally produces more entertaining matches. Arsenal aren’t the reason some of their league games are dull; it’s the timid approach of opponents that creates that.
Also surprised at the pundits reaction to the Aina handball. He moves his arm towards it and controls it. It’s a penalty. I’m amazed they didn’t give it.
