Following the announcement of this year’s released list, we have a clearer indication as to what Arsenal’s U21 squad could look like next season.
In comparison to this time last year, Arsenal will have a larger amount of players to choose from at this level although some of the older individuals could be contenders for moves elsewhere.
This list doesn’t take include Tommy Setford and Max Dowman, who are part of the first-team squad.
Expected U21 squad (* – offered professional contract, ^ – still eligible for U18s)
Goalkeepers – Mitchell, Nygaard, Ranson, Porter
Defenders – Clarke, Dixon, Washington, Ogunnaike*, Salmon^
Midfielders – Agustien, Copley, Ibrahim, Julienne, Marciniak*
Attackers – Harriman-Annous, Kabia, Mooney, O’Neill, Stevens, Zecevic John
Of those listed above, Salmon could be set for further first-team involvement of some description, whether at Arsenal or on loan.
The likes of Kabia, Copley and Nygaard will be back from loan spells but may be candidates for further temporary spells elsewhere or perhaps even a permanent move.
Remy Mitchell could frequently train with the first-team if he stays at the club and winger Archie Stevens, 20, may be looking for a loan move. Brayden Clarke could also potentially go on loan.
