"I would like to take this opportunity to thank [Wednesday manager] Dave Jones and everyone at Sheffield Wednesday for their support and understanding.


"Wednesday is a great club and I leave behind many great friends. I wish everyone at Sheffield Wednesday the best of luck for next season."

"We are delighted that Terry Burton is joining Arsenal," said the Frenchman.
