“One Arsene Wenger, there's only one Arsene Wenger.

“This song symbolically resounded, in the middle of the Arsenal-West Ham Boxing Day match (3-1), Monday at the Emirates Stadium.

And for good reason, all the Gunners supporters were surprised to discover, on the giant screen of the London stadium, that Arsène Wenger was present in the stands.

A great first since his painful departure from the club in May 2018, after an interminable lease as manager of Arsenal for 22 seasons.
