There’s a concrete possibility for a number of players to leave Arsenal this summer. For example, Cedric Soares will be leaving on a free as his contract is expiring, that’s already decided. Others to watch could be someone like Eddie Nketiah – I think there’s a concrete possibility that he could move on, and he’s always had plenty of interest from clubs in the Premier League and the Bundesliga.
In the past, we’ve seen interest from West Ham, Crystal Palace and Borussia Monchengladbach, now let’s see if any teams will make a proposal this summer, but for sure it’s a possibility for Nketiah to make way as Arsenal are looking for a potential new addition up front, while they also have Gabriel Jesus, as well as Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard who can also play there.
Thomas Partey could be another name to watch. Arsenal are really happy with him when he’s on the pitch, but we know this has been a difficult season for him with injuries, and his contract is going to expire in summer 2025, so they will have to make a decision together. Nothing has been decided yet, but they will discuss the situation at the end of the season.
Going back to Arsenal’s striker plans, I’ve had fans asking me about Santiago Gimenez, who has been linked with a number of top clubs, but I’m not aware of any advanced discussions with Arsenal. There are many clubs interested in him after his fine form in the Eredivisie, but I’m not aware of any contacts with Arsenal.
Still, with Arne Slot leaving Feyenoord to become Liverpool manager, there is a concrete chance for Gimenez to leave as well this summer. He wants to look for opportunities, and of course we know Arsenal are looking for attacking players, but I’m not aware of this being anything concrete just yet.
What I can say for Gimenez is that the asking price will be something like €40-45m, so let’s see how much Arsenal decide they want to invest in that position. They might decide to go for a bigger investment like Viktor Gyokeres, who is appreciated by Arsenal, or we’ll see if they prefer a cheaper option like Gimenez.
We’re continuing to see a lot of stories into the situation at Liverpool,…
