Although Arsenal did not win any titles in all competitions in the 2023/24 campaign, they still received many compliments for creating a fierce Premier League championship race to the final round with Manchester City. In addition, in the Champions League, the Gunners also reached the quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years.
On the closing day of the season, coach Mikel Arteta affirmed that Arsenal will not stop until they achieve glory, so it is likely that the Spanish coach and technical director Edu Gaspar will continue to dominate. Next summer’s transfer market aims to build the perfect squad framework.
But before thinking about spending money, the north London club also needs to sell names that are no longer in the plan to reduce the financial burden and salary budget.
Below are 8 names that are likely to leave the Emirates according to The Sun’s prediction.
Aaron Ramsdale
Leaving Ramsdale on the bench after successfully recruiting David Raya is considered a cruel decision by coach Arteta because, in the previous two seasons, the English goalkeeper was in good form.
Ramsdale’s future at Arsenal is almost gone because Raya has still had impressive performances over the past time, so the former Sheffield United star needs to leave if he doesn’t want his career to be buried. The next potential stops for the 26-year-old could be Newcastle United and Chelsea.
Cedric Soares
Soares’ current contract with Arsenal only lasts until the end of next month, so the day the Portuguese star leaves north London is approaching because the Gunners’ right-back position is currently almost exclusively a story between Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Oleksandr Zinchenko
The Ukrainian defender arrived at Arsenal in the summer of 2022 and immediately became one of the most important factors in the team throughout the 2022/23 campaign. But over time, the 27-year-old’s defensive weaknesses were gradually exposed. As a result, this season, Zinchenko lost his starting position on the left wing to Jakub Kiwior as well as Tomiyasu. It is likely that Arteta will sell the former Man City star next summer to give rookie Jurrien Timber the opportunity to show off and earn the highest profit.
Thomas Partey
Partey always plays well every time he plays, but the 30-year-old midfielder’s extensive injury history during his four years with Arsenal is a big obstacle. This season, the Ghanaian star missed almost the entire season and only returned at the end of the season. With many clubs from Saudi Arabia being interested in Partey, the Gunners may nod if they receive an attractive offer.
Mohamed Elneny
Elneny was the first name to confirm his departure from Arsenal this summer. Recently, the Egyptian star said goodbye on social media.
Fabio Vieira
Joined Arsenal in the summer of 2022 with many expectations after a top performance in the previous Porto shirt, but after 2 seasons of breathing the Premier League atmosphere, Vieira appeared overwhelmed by his thin body.
But with huge development potential, a loan contract for the 23-year-old midfielder to gain more playing experience could be a reasonable step.
Eddie Nketiah
Although he just signed a contract extension with Arsenal 2 years ago, Nketiah’s future is no longer guaranteed at Emirates Stadium. Even this season, the English star has become Arteta’s third choice for the center forward position, behind Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
Reiss Nelson
Once expected to become an effective fire-spreader for Bukayo Saka on the right wing, but serious injuries and a somewhat easily caught playing style caused Nelson to no longer win Arteta’s trust. This season, the English star only scored 1 goal in 22 appearances in all competitions.
