Kieran Tierney has already agreed to return to Celtic, and Jorginho is said to have finalized terms for a move to Flamengo.
Here are five other players whose futures at Arsenal are uncertain:
1. **Oleksandr Zinchenko** – Since joining Arsenal in 2022, Zinchenko has been a key figure in Arteta’s title challenge. However, with new signings like Riccardo Calafiori and the rise of Myles Lewis-Skelly, the Ukrainian has struggled for minutes this season, making only 14 appearances, with four starts. His contract is entering its final 18 months, and there have been no talks of an extension. He must prove his worth to Arteta before the summer.
2. **Jakub Kiwior** – Signed for £17.5 million plus add-ons in 2023, Kiwior has been a backup player, mostly featuring as a substitute. With only 16 appearances in 2024/25, including just two Premier League starts, he may be sold for around £20 million this summer. He has drawn interest from clubs like Juventus, Milan, and Napoli.
3. **Thomas Partey** – Having joined Arsenal in 2020 for £45.3 million, Partey’s contract expires at the end of this season, and no talks of an extension have taken place yet. Arteta has emphasized that discussions will happen later, and the club may already be eyeing his replacement, with reports linking them to Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi. Partey will need to maintain strong performances to secure a new deal.
4. **Gabriel Martinelli** – After a standout 2022/23 season, Martinelli has struggled with consistency, scoring only six goals and providing four assists in the 2023/24 season. In 2024/25, he’s faced competition for a starting spot from Leandro Trossard. There are concerns about his form, and pundits, like Jamie Carragher, have pointed out the disparity in performances compared to teammate Bukayo Saka.
These players face an uncertain future as Arsenal prepares for potential squad changes in the coming months.
