Arsenal are at a bit of a crossroads at the moment. The Premier League title is still up for grabs, but who will be a part of their ever-evolving squad in the summer?

The Gunners could be on the cusp of a major clearout. With several senior players nearing the end of their respective contracts, here are five Arsenal stars who could leave the club in the coming months.

Ben White

Ben White’s Arsenal run has been full of peaks and valleys. Initially brought in as a centre-back, he tended to struggle with the physicality of the Premier League, but found success after Mikel Arteta converted him into a right-back.

Since then, White enjoyed a lengthy run of success in the first team. Now, however, the former Brighton man has been largely usurped by the arrival of Jurrien Timber.

According to iNews, Everton are keen on a move for the player – previously, Newcastle United have also been linked with him, though they seem to have gone quiet over the last month or so.

Gabriel Martinelli

On his day, Gabriel Martinelli is one of the best wingers in the Premier League. This season, however, the Brazilian international has been noticeably below par.

He has only scored one goal this season and his contract is due to expire in the summer of 2027 – due to this, it wouldn’t be surprising if Arsenal decided to let him go to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

According to a report from L’Equipe, PSG are looking to sign him up for a fee of £50 million. The Gunners haven’t accepted any offers as of yet, but PSG’s interest in the player remains active.

Leandro Trossard

Many Arsenal fans will be disheartened to see Leandro Trossard leaving the club. While he has seldom been a first team regular, he has always been a reliable option to come off the bench or to fill in for an injured attacking player.

He has scored five goals in the Premier League this season, alongside five assists – nevertheless, at the age of 31, his best years are now probably behind him.

According to Sport Witness, Trossard could be in his ‘final weeks’ as an Arsenal player, but his next destination remains unclear.

Reiss Nelson

Reiss Nelson story at Arsenal is, ultimately, one of tragedy. A wonderfully gifted player during his youth, injuries largely curtailed what could’ve been a fruitful career at the Emirates Stadium.

A lack of fitness has plagued him throughout his career, but especially so in the current campaign. He has made just nine Premier League appearances on loan at Brentford, with only a solitary assist to show for it.

Nelson is under contract until 2027 at Arsenal, but it would be surprising to see him kept on – for many, it seems like his ship has sailed at this point.

Gabriel Jesus

Of all the players on our list, Gabriel Jesus seems the most likely to leave Arsenal at the moment. Not only is he out of contract in 2027, he also has some very high-profile suitors.

AC Milan have previously pursued a deal for the Brazilian – now, according to the Mirror, the Italian giants are looking to revive their interest in the summer.

Jesus has seen his playing time greatly reduced by the arrival of Viktor Gyokeres – coupled with injuries, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him leave the club in the summer.
