Arsenal have confirmed their list of players to depart the club at the end of their contracts this summer, along with a few still in negotiations to stay.
Arsenal officially confirmed their list of released players on Thursday, made up of u21s, u18s, and players from the women’s team. None of the Arsenal men’s team are on the list, though some (like Josh Nichols) have made first-team appearances.
The full list of players confirmed to be leaving the club is as follows:
- Sam Chapman
- Laia Codina
- Harrison Dudziak
- Seb Ferdinand
- Cam’ron Ismail
- Will Lannin-Sweet
- Katie McCabe
- Beth Mead
- Josh Nichols
- Samuel Onyekachukwu
- Victoria Pelova
- Alexei Rojas-Fedorushchenko
- Barbora Votikova
- Naomi Williams
- Manuela Zinsberger
Arsenal add that a few more players are coming to the end of their contracts on June 30th, but remain in negotiations with the club over a possible extension.
Caitlin Foord of the Arsenal Women and Alex Marciniak and Josh Ogunnaike of the Arsenal academy are the three players whose situations remain up in the air.
Recent reports have suggested that Foord is expected to sign new terms, but the deal evidently isn’t done yet.
Both Marciniak and Ogunnaike will have aged out of u18 football by next season, so if they stick around, they’ll be full-time u21 players.
It’s a credit to the people in charge of the Arsenal’s men’s first-team that there are no senior men on the list of released players, nor on the list of players in contract negotiations.
Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal contract team haven’t let any members of his squad run their contracts down to their final months, which should hopefully mean that everyone who leaves this summer does so for a fee.
