Arsenal are set for a crucial week in the transfer market as the club focuses on generating income through several potential player departures. According to journalist Henry Winter, the Gunners are actively working on outgoings involving Jakub Kiwior, Reiss Nelson, Leandro Trossard, Fabio Vieira, and Oleksandr Zinchenko as they seek to raise funds and reshape the squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.
With the club already deep into negotiations for incoming targets, including striker Viktor Gyökeres and winger Noni Madueke, attention has now turned to balancing the books and making space in the squad. Arsenal’s sporting director Andrea Berta is leading the efforts to offload surplus players, and this week is expected to be pivotal in terms of progress.

**Jakub Kiwior**, signed from Spezia in January 2023, is attracting interest from Serie A clubs. While the Polish defender has had moments of promise, he has struggled to secure a regular starting role behind William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães. Arsenal are open to a permanent transfer if the right offer arrives, though a loan with an obligation to buy is also under consideration.
**Reiss Nelson** is also being made available. The Hale End graduate has failed to nail down a consistent place in Mikel Arteta’s plans and could now be moved on to free up space and wages after having spent some time on loan last season. Interest from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs has emerged, and Arsenal are optimistic of completing a sale in the coming days.

**Leandro Trossard**, a player with clear technical ability and versatility, has proven useful in rotation. However, with Arsenal targeting a new left-winger, the Belgian international could be sacrificed to help fund those ambitions. A move back to the continent or to a top Premier League side is not out of the question, especially if a club is willing to meet the Gunners’ valuation.
**Fabio Vieira**, once seen as a creative midfield solution, has found his opportunities limited due to inconsistent form and fitness issues. Arsenal are now open to loan or permanent offers and are actively gauging interest from La Liga and Ligue 1 clubs. Vieira is still rated highly by some in Europe, and Arsenal hope that his profile can attract suitable bids.
**Oleksandr Zinchenko**, meanwhile, is perhaps the biggest name on the outgoing list. Despite playing a key role in Arsenal’s 2022/23 title charge, his form and availability have dipped, and the emergence of other full-back options has put his place in doubt. Arsenal would be willing to listen to offers, though his wages could be a sticking point.
With the club needing to stay within financial constraints while continuing their aggressive recruitment strategy, these player exits are viewed as essential. Arsenal are confident that a series of sales this week will unlock the flexibility needed to conclude major signings and position the team for another title challenge in 2025/26.
