Mikel Arteta is set to axe seven first-team Arsenal players in a huge summer overhaul, according to stunning reports.
Arsenal Preparing for Summer Overhaul: Seven Players Set to Leave
Arsenal is gearing up for a significant squad reshuffle at the end of the season, with seven players expected to depart as Mikel Arteta aims to create space for new signings.
Loan Players Returning to Parent Clubs
- Raheem Sterling (on loan from Chelsea) and Neto (on loan from Bournemouth) will not be staying at Arsenal beyond their temporary spells.
- Sterling, 30, has struggled for game time, scoring just one goal in 18 appearances.
- Neto has made just one appearance for the Gunners.
Contract Expirations & Expected Departures
- Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey, and Jorginho are all set to leave as free agents when their contracts expire this summer.
- Tierney was linked with a return to Celtic in January, while Jorginho had discussions with Flamengo but stayed due to squad depth concerns.
- Partey, despite ongoing injury struggles, has played 23 league games and featured in every Champions League match this season.
With these departures, Arsenal is preparing for a busy summer transfer window, looking to strengthen the squad for the next campaign.
Arsenal’s Summer Overhaul Continues: Zinchenko & Kiwior Set to Leave
Arsenal’s squad revamp is set to include Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior, who have both fallen down Mikel Arteta’s pecking order.
- Zinchenko, signed from Manchester City, has struggled for consistent game time, making just eight league appearances this season.
- Kiwior has also featured in only eight league matches, failing to secure a regular role in Arteta’s plans.
With seven players leaving, Arsenal may not generate significant transfer funds, but freeing up wages will be key in facilitating new summer signings as Arteta reshapes his squad.
