Danny Welbeck will leave Arsenal when his contract expires at the end of the season, head coach Unai Emery has confirmed.
The England forward has not played since breaking his ankle against Sporting Lisbon on November 8 and his future had been in doubt.
Arsenal had not made any official announcement until the 28-year-old was included in a post-match guard of honour following their final home game of the season on Sunday.
Emery's side drew 1-1 with Brighton to have their hopes of a top-four finish all but dashed, with the players then completing the now customary lap of appreciation.
It had already been confirmed that a guard of honour would be in place for the retiring Petr Cech and Juventus-bound Aaron Ramsey.
But it was a surprise to see Welbeck also honoured with a memento from Arsenal chairman Chips Keswick, with the stadium announcer adding that the former Manchester United man would be "missed in the dressing room".
Emery, who has been asked about Welbeck's contract situation recently and given nothing away, confirmed his departure at the end of his press conference.
"I spoke with the club about this situation. The decision is he's going to leave," he said.
Welbeck joined Arsenal from United in 2014 and won the FA Cup with the north London side, where he was often utilised as an attacking option off the bench.
He was already being linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium in the January transfer window before suffering his injury in a Europa League group game.
Meanwhile Ramsey broke down in tears on the Emirates Stadium pitch as he bade an emotional farewell to Arsenal.
The Wales midfielder will join Juventus when his contract expires at the end of the season, bringing down the curtain on an 11-year stay in north London.
Signed from Cardiff in 2008, Ramsey would go on to become Arsenal's highest-scoring midfielder of all time - hitting two FA Cup final winning goals in 2014 and 2017.
"Obviously it's very emotional, it's been a hell of a journey," he told Sky Sports. "Eleven years of my life, so much has happened in that, when I look back. You can tell by my voice how much it means to me.
"I'm just grateful for the opportunity to play for this great club and spend so many years.
"I spent 11 years here, I came here 17 years old - a boy - and I'm leaving a man. I've got a family, my wife, my kids, so much has happened, I'm just grateful for the opportunity here.
