"I understand that Reuben, you are a passionate supporter of our club and I believe that this union will be a great partnership as you start the next phase of your life," Arteta's letter said in part.

Anger as Arsenal match halted

Earlier, Sports Brief reported how Arsenal and Leeds United fans expressed their anger after referee Chris Kavanagh temporarily suspended their match due to a power cut which meant there would be no VAR.

Arsenal were looking to extend their winning run at Elland Road, cementing their grip at the top of the table.

Arsenal and Leeds were getting ready to kick off their evening fixture, but a problem with the technology used forced center referee Chris Kavanagh to delay the match.
