David Ornstein confirms Arsenal duo are likely to depart

Arsenal midfield duo Jorginho and Thomas Partey are likely to depart on free transfers this summer, according to David Ornstein.

Jorginho has been with the Gunners for the last two years, but his future is uncertain with his contract expiring on June 30.

The Italian is discussing terms with Flamengo and reports claim that he could join the Brazilian outfit after the season ends.

Partey has likewise entered the last four months of his deal. Arsenal are reluctant to extend his stay, given his injury record over the years.

Ornstein has now revealed that the duo are most likely to leave on free transfers and the decisions could be influenced by a new arrival.

The club are in 'very advanced' talks to land Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. They are ready to his £51 million release clause.

The Spaniard's arrival at the Emirates could pave the way for the experienced pair to head for the exit door this summer.
