Arsene Wenger left in 2017 and since then we’ve had Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta in to sort through the deadwood.
Over the course of the last three seasons Arsenal have seen David Ospina, Alex Iwobi, Carl Jenkinson, Krystian Bielik, Laurent Koscielny, Aaron Ramsey, Takuma Asano, Julio Pleguezuelo, Danny Welbeck, Petr Cech, Cohen Bramall, Marc Bola, Josh Dasilva, Joel Campbell, Chuba Akpom, Santi Cazorla Jack Wilshere, Lucas Perez, Dan Crowley, Ismael Bennacer, Gabriel Paulista, Jon Toral, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Chris Willock, Francis Coquelin, Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and a host of others depart.
With Ozil now gone, who is left from Arsene Wenger’s final season at the club?
Just 13 players remain (14 if you include Ozil who hasn’t officially left) and that number could be a lot lower by the end of January:
