Speaking with Sky Sports, the Gabonese showed respect to the Gunners and claimed that it’s “a good thing” that they are back in Europe.

“I have a lot of friends over there but I’m wishing them all the best for next season obviously. I think its going to be a good thing to get back to the Europa League as well and hopefully they can win it.”

The Gunners narrowly missed out on a spot in the Champions League, finishing two points behind North London rivals Tottenham.

Mikel Arteta’s men will however play in the Europa League next season.
