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.
PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 🏆
Arne Slot with the same number of Premier League titles as Arteta and didn't need 7 years, over a billion quid, the PGMOL and the worst season in PL history to win it.
I’ve genuinely never seen, in my years as a journalist covering this sport, a club finally win the Premier League after years of emotional collapses, only to do so from the sofa, with the wider football world reacting like someone had just announced a new Carabao Cup sponsor, a brief nod, a polite clap, and everyone moved on.
I still remember when England’s most glorious and mythical institution, Liverpool FC, won the league last season, playing great football and creating a sense across the football world that something monumental had happened, while with Arsenal, the title feels less like a historic coronation and more like a small club being allowed to hold the big trophy for a weekend, maybe because depressing football, set pieces and emotional insecurity will never quite feel like genuine greatness, which, from a purely journalistic perspective, is quite telling.
Congratulations to Arsenal, the players and the fans for winning the league title.
Especially to Mikel Arteta. You always believed in the club and worked harder than anyone to achieve this. You deserve it, boss.
Congratulations, family ❤️ @Arsenal
