Poor old Abou Diaby!
His Arsenal career is officially over today after the Gunners confirmed him as one of five players leaving the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
The Frenchman joins academy players Jack Jebb, Austin Lipman, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Josh Vickers in departing upon the expiration of their contracts.
Diaby made 180 first-team appearances in 10 years at Arsenal, scoring 19 goals.
However, he will be best remembered for his horrific injury record.
