da dobrowin: Stephan Lichtsteiner’s glittering career includes seven Serie A titles, five Coppa Italia trophies and one Swiss Player of the Year award, but it’s safe to say that his foray into Premier League life did not go as planned with the defender already prepared to depart Arsenal after just one year in London.
Signed on a free transfer in the summer of 2018, the right-back has failed to live up to his reputation making just 14 Premier League appearances despite Hector Bellerin suffering a season-ending injury.
As the Gunners prepare to face Chelsea in the Europa League final on May 29 in Baku, Lichsteiner has admitted that the European showpiece will likely be his last outing as an Arsenal player.
“I see it being quite difficult to stay, but we are going to see what happens,” he said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
“I don’t know anything. The only important thing is the Europa League final now. I really want to win this cup and bring this club back to the top level, back to the Champions League and winning important titles.”
The 35-year old’s participation in the Baku final remains up in the air after not earning a place in Unai Emery’s last six Europa League matchday squads, but Arsenal fans certainly aren’t clamouring to see Lichsteiner play again as they took to Twitter to lambaste the failed signing.
