Arsenal are all about celebration at the moment having won the title and it’s easy to forget we might not see certain players again.
This Gunners squad is a tight-knit group and if anyone leaves – regardless of how much they play – it’s always going to have an impact.
Indeed, just today, reserve goalkeeper Karl Hein has announced he is leaving the club this summer.
Hein will join Werder Bremen over in Germany and the 24-year-old will hope to kickstart his career after sitting well behind David Raya and Kepa in recent times.
Nevertheless, after announcing the news on social media, teammate Raya has left a classy comment.

David Raya sends message to Karl Hein after he announces he’s leaving
This Arsenal team is built on a strong team spirit as well as having talented players in every position.
For a player like Karl Hein, who hasn’t played much, it’s about doing your bit in training and around the squad to help where you can. Clearly, he’s been a key part of the training group alongside David Raya and the Spaniard has sent a classy message on Instagram to Hein.
‘All the best Karlitos. Pleasure to have shared a dressing room with you. I wish you nothing but the best’, Raya wrote in response to Hein’s own post.
At 24, Hein now needs to go somewhere where he can get regular football and prove he belongs at the highest levels.
A move to Germany and a club the size of Werder Bremen should do wonders for him.
Furthermore, having worked so closely with Raya for a few seasons now, Hein can only have improved from being alongside one of the best in the world.
It will certainly be interesting to see just how Hein gets on and who knows, we might well see him back in the Premier League at some point.
