Reliable journalist David Ornstein has shared a significant update on Arsenal’s potential transfer activities this summer, hinting at a notable player sale.
While the Gunners are set to see key players like Thomas Partey and Jorginho approach free agency at the end of the season, Ornstein suggests that raising funds through player sales may be necessary to facilitate other signings. Speaking during a Q&A session for The Athletic, he stated, “If Arsenal are going to commit huge expense on a striker, and if [Martin] Zubimendi’s transfer gets done, it’s surely inevitable that resources will need to be raised from a sale or multiple sales. It wouldn’t shock me to see a notable player depart this summer, but, at the time of writing, I don’t know who that might be.”
Potential Departures from Arsenal
The identity of the player who could leave remains unclear, but speculation is already brewing among fans. Players like Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior, who have seen limited playing time, could be candidates for a move if Arsenal decides to cash in. Additionally, big names such as Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, whose recent performances have been underwhelming, might also be considered for potential offers.

What’s Next for Arsenal?
With plenty of football left to play this season, players still have time to make a case for their continued role at the Emirates Stadium. Manager Mikel Arteta and the club’s hierarchy will likely assess the squad’s performance and make decisions based on the team’s needs and financial strategy.
As the summer transfer window approaches, fans and analysts will undoubtedly keep a close eye on Arsenal’s moves, both in terms of potential departures and new arrivals.
