Arsenal chief executive Vinai Venkatesham apologised to the whole first-team squad following the European Super League saga, the Mirror report.
And, as to be expected, the behind-the-scenes update has had plenty of Gunners fans talking on social media.
Arsenal were one of six Premier League sides to sign up to the new competition over the weekend, with all English clubs withdrawing their interest on Tuesday evening after severe backlash all across the country.
The Mirror claim that Venkatesham addressed Arsenal’s squad at London Colney training ground on Wednesday morning alongside boss Mikel Arteta.
The report reveals that CEO Venkatesham was quizzed by several Gunners stars following the meeting as to why they weren’t told prior to the announcement.

"It's time to gooo #KroenkeOut"

"Get rid of the leeches at the top. Apologies are not enough."
