How...
You have been voted to be the best striker with all achievements you got, i hope this clarification not to be your final decision. We want you, Wenger needs you for title challenge next season. Top management is force to rebuild the squad. and you will go away, leaving the people who love you. but, it still one year contract and Wenger will use it well. I hope they don't sell him and let it be free next year. :(

This is an update for the fans about my current situation. I have
kept quiet all this time out of respect and loyalty for the club and as
agreed with Mr. Gazidis and Mr. Wenger, but since there is so much
speculation in the media, I think it is fair for you guys to know what’s
really going on at the moment.
As announced earlier this year I had a meeting with the Boss and Mr.
Gazidis after the season. This was a meeting about the club’s future
strategy and their policy. Financial terms or a contract have not been
discussed, since that is not my priority at all.
I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win
trophies with the team and to bring the club back to its glory days. Out
of my huge respect for Mr. Wenger, the players and the fans I don’t
want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has
again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way
Arsenal FC should move forward.
I’ve thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend
my contract. You guys, the fans, have of course the right to disagree
with my view and decision and I will always respect your opinions.
I love the club and the fans, no matter what happens. I have grown up
and became a man during my time with Arsenal FC. Everybody at the club
and the fans have always supported me over the years and I have always
given my all (and more) on and off the pitch. I am very proud of being
part of this fantastic club for the last 8 years. As soon as Mr. Gazidis
is back from his 2-week holiday in America further meetings will follow
and I will update you if and when there are more developments.
