Below is the full message:
“In the summer of 2019 Arsenal Tula gave a life changing opportunity to a young dreamer hoping to kick start his European Adventure when they signed me.
The club welcomed me with open hands & most of all always made me feel at home. The club’s role in the development of the player Iam today can’t be overemphasized. Look, this is the Club that gave me a chance to showcase my abilities against legendary clubs like Zenit St Petersburg, CSKA Moscow, our bitter rivals SPARTAK FC among others.
To the Club President, The Governor of the state of Tula, the rest of the staff & not forgetting the ever noisy & passionate RED/YELLOW army, allow me to say thank you for the wonderful 3years we spent together. I will forever cherish this chapter of my football journey. I know things didn’t go to plan this season but I trust and believe the people running the affairs of the club are doing everything possible to bring it back where it belongs, this I have never doubted.
Sadly I have to say my goodbyes today for a new challenge. I know we will meet soon and I will say my goodbyes in a much better way.
THANK YOU ARSENAL TULA.. ТОЛЬКО КРАСНЫЙ/ЖЕЛТЫЙ….ТОЛЬКО ТУЛА, ТОЛЬКО ПОБЕДА .”
