One of England’s most prestigious and historic clubs, Arsenal, is working on serious squad changes ahead of the 2025/2026 season. The London club’s management is preparing to part ways with several players to strengthen internal competition and give other footballers new opportunities.
According to The Athletic, the Gunners’ sporting director, Andrea Berta, is focused on selling players considered surplus to requirements. Notably, players who spent last season on loan — Fábio Vieira, Reiss Nelson, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and goalkeeper Karl Hein — are on the transfer list. Their agents have been informed that the club is open to negotiations if serious offers come in.
Additionally, two first-team players — Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko and Polish defender Jakub Kiwior — are also likely to leave, as they struggle to compete for starting roles. Amid rising competition in the defensive line, their futures at the club remain uncertain.
Surprisingly, even attacking stars like Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli have appeared on the transfer list. Martinelli’s form after injuries and Trossard’s inconsistent performances seem to have raised doubts among the coaching staff.
These pre-season changes reflect Arsenal’s firm stance on shaping the club’s future. The goal is to build a team capable of contending for major trophies.
The football community holds mixed opinions on these moves: some view them as necessary and strategic, while others warn of the risk of losing key players.
Right now, one question haunts Arsenal fans — what will be the outcome of this major clearout? The new season will provide a clear answer. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
