Arsenal Faces Potential Squad Changes This Summer Amid Title Race
The Gunners are at a crucial juncture as they pursue the Premier League title. With key players nearing the end of their contracts, several stars could be on the move this summer.
Ben White
Ben White’s tenure at Arsenal has experienced ups and downs. Initially signed as a centre-back, he struggled with the physical intensity of the Premier League but found success when Mikel Arteta converted him into a right-back.
Recently, however, White has lost his starting position to the newly arrived Jurrien Timber. According to iNews, Everton is interested in acquiring him, and Newcastle United had also shown interest, although their pursuit appears to have cooled recently.
Gabriel Martinelli
Gabriel Martinelli has the potential to be one of the top wingers in the Premier League. However, this season he has struggled, netting just one goal so far. With his contract set to expire in 2027, Arsenal might consider selling him to avoid losing him for free in the future.
A report from L’Equipe indicates that PSG is eyeing a move for him at a fee of £50 million. So far, Arsenal has not accepted any offers, but PSG remains keen.
Leandro Trossard
Leandro Trossard’s departure could be a disappointment for many Arsenal supporters. Although he has not consistently started, he has proven to be a dependable option off the bench and has contributed five goals and five assists this Premier League season. At 31 years old, his best days may be behind him.
According to Sport Witness, Trossard might be nearing the end of his time at Arsenal, but his next club remains uncertain.
Reiss Nelson
Reiss Nelson’s journey at Arsenal has been largely marred by unfortunate injuries. Once regarded as a promising young talent, his fitness issues have limited his impact, particularly this season during his loan at Brentford, where he has only made nine appearances with one assist.
Though Nelson’s contract runs until 2027, many believe it is unlikely he will remain, as his time with the club seems to be nearing its conclusion.
Gabriel Jesus
Gabriel Jesus appears to be the most likely player to depart Arsenal soon. He is under contract until 2027 but has attracted significant interest from numerous teams.
AC Milan has previously pursued a deal for the Brazilian forward, and according to the Mirror, they are looking to rekindle that interest in the upcoming summer transfer window.
As a result of injuries and the arrival of Viktor Gyokeres, Jesus’s playing time has diminished significantly, making a summer transfer increasingly likely.
