Aaron Ramsdale has thanked Arsenal and the Gunners fans for their support following his permanent exit to Southampton.
The goalkeeper has joined the Saints in a deal worth up to £25m after three years in north London.
Ramsdale found himself out of favour last season following the arrival of David Raya but played 89 times for the club in all competitions during his spell.
“From the moment I arrived, I felt like one of you,” he said on his Instagram page.
“All I ever wanted to do was give my all and try to get the club back to where it belongs. The connection that we had will stay with me forever.
“This is a special football club that has come a long way in a short space of time and it has been a privilege to share so many great moments with you.
“I look forward to returning soon, seeing some familiar faces and reminiscing on good times!
“Thank you to all of my team mates for going to battle with me; we certainly gave it a good go and had some fun. Finally, and most of all, thank you to the Gunners for always being behind me! I will love you forever.”
