The 26-year-old England international made his Gunners debut in 2008 and has made 197 first-team appearances.

However, his future at Emirates Stadium was in doubt following the arrival of new manager Unai Emery.

"I felt that I was ultimately left with little choice but to make the decision that I have due to purely footballing reasons," he wrote on Instagram., external

Campaigners have begun their legal challenge to try to stop part of Ealing Town Hall being turned into a boutique hotel.

The council wants to finalise a deal with developers Mastcraft who will transform part of the Grade II listed building into a 145-bed boutique hotel while refurbishing the east wing of the building to continue as council chambers.

But the Ealing Voice group has appointed charity lawyers to exploit a 125-year-old trust agreement it says means part of the town hall must be preserved for use by the community.

The Victoria Hall Trust, which was created in 1893, left the Victoria Hall and other sections of the town hall including the Princes Hall to the people of Ealing.

Ealing Voice has accused the council of "completely ignoring the Trust agreement".

Julian Smith of the group said recent negotiations with the Charity Commission suggest it will uphold the rights of the Trust.

However, the council said the deal is the best way to manage the building and pay for expensive maintenance costs in a time of huge government budget cuts.

Council leader Julian Bell said the hotel project offers the best way of paying for the upkeep of the ageing building and preserving it by giving "stability to the town hall finances going forward".

A man suffered serious electrical burns at Blackfriars Station when he jumped on the tracks after he was chased by a man carrying a knife during a fight.

British Transport Police said the man was hurt following a fight between two men and a man who was on his own in the early hours of 2 June.

During the altercation, the man who was alone pulled out a knife and ran at the two other men. One of them went onto the line and his hand came into contact with the electrical power line.

He was taken to hospital where he remains receiving specialist treatment.

Police described the man who had the knife as black, about 5ft 8ins tall and of medium build, and have appealed for witnesses.

In a statement he said: "A year on from the tragic attack outside Muslim Welfare House London in Finsbury Park, when a man filled with hate drove into a crowd of people after prayers, we remember the life that was lost and those still suffering from the aftermath - and the inspiring response of our community.

"One man, Makram Ali, was killed and eight people were injured in this terrible attack that brought terror to our streets.

"But the response of our community - people of all faiths and none - was to come together in solidarity and strength.

"We showed that we would not be divided or defeated and we never will be.

"The response of the community in Finsbury Park is a model for us all: through supporting each other in solidarity, treating each other with respect and learning from each other, we can create a better, more peaceful and prosperous world."
