Arsenal are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season as they hope to challenge for top titles again after finishing the 2024/2025 season without a trophy. To create space for expected new arrivals and also reduce the wage burden on the club, Arsenal will be looking to offload about 20 players before the end of this month.
The club has confirmed several key transfers for the summer window. Nuno Tavares has joined Lazio in a deal worth around £4.2 million.
Jorginho has mutually agreed to end his contract with Arsenal and has joined Brazilian club Flamengo ahead of the Club World Cup. Kieran Tierney is set to leave the club when his contract expires on June 30, with a return to Celtic expected. Several youth players have also been released, including Nathan Butler-Oyedeji.

The club is reportedly targeting several players to strengthen their squad, including a backup goalkeeper, defender, central midfielder, new striker, and wide forward. A deal for Martin Zubimendi is said to have already been agreed, while Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko are among the strikers linked with a move to Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal’s co-chairman Josh Kroenke has confirmed the club’s intentions to invest in the squad to improve their chances of success next season. Sporting director Andrea Berta is expected to play a key role in shaping the squad.
The full list of players leaving the club comprises men’s players and scholars who have represented Arsenal at first-team, under-21, and under-18 levels, along with members of the women’s squad.
