Arsenal is preparing to sell up to eight players this season.

Arsenal prepares revolution in squad: at least six imminent departures and up to eight players at risk of leaving

Arsenal is set to trigger a true revolution in its squad this summer, with a deep clean that could involve the sale of at least six players, a number that could rise to eight. Despite recently winning the Premier League, Mikel Arteta is not satisfied and is determined to continue improving the team, which means being ruthless with those who have not met expectations.

According to a source close to the club, Arsenal is open to offers for players such as Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, Christian Norgaard, and also the loaned-out Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson, who have failed to justify the initial investment. The situation of Leandro Trossard is also delicate, as he is in the last year of his contract, which could facilitate his departure. Another case generating uncertainty is Ethan Nwaneri, a young academy player whom the club may sell to secure immediate profit.

Who are the untouchables in the Arsenal team that won the title in the 2025/26 season? Among the players who are unlikely to be transferred are Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Magalhães, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber, and David Raya, fundamental pillars of recent success. However, the list of players who can be let go highlights that not everyone has had enough impact to secure their future, especially in the cases of Vieira and Nelson, who failed to shine even during their loan spells.

Gabriel Jesus, who has been plagued by injuries and inconsistency, and Martinelli, who scored only one goal in the last league, are clear examples of the dissatisfaction from the technical management. The priority is to renew and strengthen the squad, distancing those who do not meet the club’s ambitious goals.

In addition to the names already mentioned, the futures of other players such as Martin Odegaard, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Riccardo Calafiori remain uncertain, depending on the offers that may arise in the market.

This restructuring process highlights Arsenal’s ambition to remain at the top of English and European football, not hesitating to cut ties with the past to make room for new faces and ensure an even more competitive team for the upcoming seasons. Fans are warned: the summer promises to be busy in London, and the championship-winning squad could undergo significant changes. The final decision on who stays or goes may begin to be made in the coming days, with a direct impact on the next season.
