‘I believe my season at Arsenal is now over, and I would want to thank the supporters for their support thus far. I believe it is time for me to move on to a club where I can win trophies. Arsenal midfielder set to leave this summer despite great performance. Not Ødegaard, Thomas Partey, or Elneny. Farewell Champion 💔
Mikel Arteta is anticipated to have a busy summer, making significant changes to the Arsenal squad. Although the team had a relatively quiet January, the offseason is expected to bring both incoming and outgoing players.
Despite Arsenal’s improved goal-scoring performance, the acquisition of a new striker remains a potential top priority. While Leandro Trossard has impressed as a false nine, there’s a consideration for a long-term upgrade over Eddie Nketiah.
Arteta’s focus on strengthening the midfield is evident, with potential departures for Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny, and Albert Sambi Lokonga. Although Declan Rice and Jorginho seem likely to stay, Arteta appears keen on reshaping the midfield.
Journalist Charles Watts suggests that Lokonga, despite an ‘excellent’ loan spell with Luton Town, may not return to Arsenal’s first squad next season. Watts speculates that Arteta and his staff have moved on from Lokonga, with the possibility of the player leaving permanently in the summer to recoup some funds.
