In an emotional statement, Hennessy said “I have made the decision to leave Arsenal this summer. This club kick-started my career in a way I could of never imagined. From a young player to 17, I’m leaving the club as a better player and person. Thanks to the staff and players for everything they have helped me with along they way. A new challenge awaits…”
