The Ivorian winger, now playing in Serie A with Roma, left the North Lodnon side in 2013 after spending just two seasons with the club.
During his time at the Emirates, he played 63 times but has now slammed Wenger and the way he wa traeted by the Frenchman.
‘He [Wenger] never had confidence in me. [Roma coach Rudi Garcia] doesn’t differentiate between those who are playing and those who aren’t playing. That’s important for a player,’ he is quoted to have told African media.
‘He doesn’t only speak to those who are playing, he talks to everyone as there are 25 players in the squad, not just 11.
‘As a child, I dreamed of playing for Arsenal because I loved them.
‘Now I hate them for the way Wenger treated me.
‘However, I regretted leaving the club after such a short time without being able to show my worth, which I’m now doing at Roma instead.’
