The players celebrated with the waiting fans outside The Emirates Stadium and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Particularly Wilshere, who decided to grab the microphone and lead Arsenal fans in a rendition of a derogatory song about local rivals Tottenham (apologies for the bad language).
With the summer transfer window ahead, Arsenal players and fans are hoping that, with the right reinforcements, they could be celebrating the Premier League title in just under a year's time.
