Arsenal has confirmed 15 player are leaving Emirates Stadium.

NewsRain Nigeria reports that Arsenal have revealed that eight players will leave the club this summer, with a further seven players leaving the women’s team.

Recall that Mikel Arteta’s side were beaten in the Champions League final on penalties by PSG, who retained their crown.

The Gunners ended their 22-year wait for a Premier League title, and no first-team stars will leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, while eight youngsters will depart at the end of their contracts.

Piero Hincapie is the only senior star with his immediate future needing to be decided. The Gunners have an option to buy the Ecuador international for a reported £ 45 million this summer, after agreeing a deal with Bayer Leverkusen last summer.

Sam Chapman, Harrison Dudziak, Seb Ferdinand, Cam’ron Ismail, Will Lannin-Sweet, Josh Nichols, Samuel Onyekachukwu, and Alexei Rojas-Federushchenko will all leave the club.

In a club statement, Arsenal said: “We thank all the players leaving us for their contributions to the club. You will always be part of the Arsenal Family, and we wish you all the best of health and happiness in your futures.

“Any further developments regarding players extending their contracts, as well as joining/re-joining, or leaving us, will be officially communicated when confirmed.”

Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard, Christian Norgaard and Gabriel Martinelli’s contracts expire in 2027, and the club is expected to cash in on some of those players this summer, though they have an option for a further year in the latter duo’s contracts.

Jakub Kiwior will be sold this summer, but is not included on the list, after an agreement was reached with Porto following this season’s loan.

Arteta has already laid down the mantle for Arsenal transfer chiefs this summer, calling on the board to be ‘very ambitious.’

Speaking after the defeat to PSG in the Champions League final, Arteta said: “It is very tough to accept when you are so consistent all the way to the final, and in the end you lose the trophy on penalties.

“We need to do better, we have to improve, and we have to find different margins to get the outcome we want.

“First of all, I will take a few days with my family, and then we will start the process to review what we have done.

“We will have to start making some very important decisions if we want to reach another level.

“We are going to have to show that ambition because we are more than capable of doing it, but it is going to demand that we be very ambitious, very fast, and very smart.”

There are also some big names leaving the Women’s team this summer, with Katie McCabe, Beth Mead, Manuela Zinsberger, Laia Codina, Victoria Pelova, Barbora Votikova and Naomi Williams all set to depart.

Club legends Mead and McCabe will leave the club after memorable tenures. The latter will join Chelsea for the new season, while Mead has been linked with a move to Manchester City, where she could join up with former Gunner Vivianne Miedema.
