As is tradition, English clubs publish a press release to announce the names of players who will no longer be with them next season. Arsenal therefore did not escape the rule and formalized 20 departures for this year 2025 through a press release. “Before the official announcement by the Premier League of all the male players who will be at the end of the contract on June 30, we take the opportunity to thank those who leave us at the end of their contract at the end of the month. These are male players and scholarship holders who have represented the club as a first team, in less than 21 years and in less than 18 years, as well as members of our women's team, whose departures have been announced above. ”
The Gunners then specified: “The players are presented in alphabetical order: Nathan Butler-Odeji, Reece Clairmont, Khayon Edwards, Jakai Fisher, Romari Forde, Teyah Goldie, Jimi Gower, Jack Henry-Francis, Lina Hurtig, Amanda Ilestedt, Jorginho, Max Kuczynski, Salah-Eddine Mand, Ismail Oulad M'hand, Neto, Brian Okonkwo, Elian Quesada-Thorn, Zacariah Shuaib, Raheem Sterling, Kieran Tierney. Within the first team led by Mikel Arteta, a number of players will therefore no longer be there next year. The residents of Etihad Stadium gave a big broom. The idea was also to make room to welcome new elements during this first transfer window led by the new sports director, Andrea Berta.
Arsenal scrutinizes the market
In addition to Mikel Merino, whose signature is planned in the midfield, an attacker and an winger, rather for the left side, are sought. For this position, Berta looks in particular on the side of Spain and Real Madrid. Sky Sports Ensures this Friday that the residents of the Emirates Stadium always follow very closely the case of Rodrygo (24 years old). If some Spanish media assure that he wants to stay at Real Madrid, El Chiringuito explains that uncertainty reigns around his case. Everyone should see more clearly once the Brazilian is chatted with Xabi Alonso. But the door is not a priori completely closed for him. The Gunners also follow the tracks leading to Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich), Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao) and Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa).
In attack, it is always the same names that come back. Alexander Isak (Newcastle), Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP) and Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig) are courted. The Londoners also plan to get their hands on a goalkeeper. Sky Sports reveals that Kepa Arrizabalaga has the favors of Arteta and its leaders. Sent on loan last season to Bournemouth, the Spaniard does not enter the plans of Chelsea, who seeks to get rid of it. Under contract until June 2026, the porter benefits from a clause allowing him to leave against € 5.9 million. Arsenal therefore has 8 targets in mind to revolutionize his team next season. It remains to be seen what files will go to the end.
