Arsenal full-back Stephan Lichtsteiner has confirmed he is expected to leave the club this summer.Lichtsteiner, 35, moved to north London on a free transfer last summer, signing on an initial one-year deal.Getty1

It was thought Lichtsteiner would bring a winning mentality to the club

The club had the option to extend it by a further year but are believed to have declined the opportunity after the player appeared to post a farewell message on his Instagram account on Monday.The Switzerland captain lifted the Serie A title in each of his seven years in Turin and was seen as a signing that could bring a winning mentality to Unai Emery’s squad.Despite his influence, Arsenal finished a point outside the Premier League top four before losing 4-1 to Chelsea in the Europa League final last week – with Lichtsteiner an unused substitute – a result which means they now face a third season outside of the Champions League.“Dear Gunners. We were close to add an important chapter to this amazing club’s history. But to be close … is unfortunately not good enough,” Lichtsteiner posted on Instagram alongside a slideshow of images from the loss to the Blues in Baku.Ray Parlour pays tribute to late Spanish football player Jose Antonio Reyes “This is hard to accept. I’m very disappointed. It was our objective to bring Arsenal back on the highest international level and to win trophies. Both belong to this great club.“I wish my teammates, my coach and his staff, all hard-working employees and all Gunner fans simply the best! I’m confident our team can complete our mission next season! “I loved to be a part of this club. It was a great challenge and experience without a happy end, unfortunately. Thank you very much for your overwhelming support! It was much appreciated! See you, Stephan”Lichtsteiner made 23 appearances across all competitions for Arsenal and scored his only goal for the club in a 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Blackpool in October.
