Nine Players Set For Arsenal Exit

1. Manuel Almunia

Manuel Almunia became the first-choice goal keeper after the departure of Jens Lehnman and has worn the Arsenal skipper’s band on several occasions. But his run of poor performances have sent him down the pecking order behind Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski.

2. Lukas Fabianski

Lukasz Fabianski has been frustrated with the lack of first team opportunities having lost his place Wojciech Szczesny both at Arsenal and in Poland National team. The Polish international has not made Premier League appearance since January 2011

3. Sébastien Squillaci

Sébastien Squillaci joined Arsenal from Sevilla following the departure of William Gallas in the summer of 2010. But the French international failed to impress when given the chance. With Thomas Vermaleen and Laurent Koscienly back to fitness and with the arrival of Per Mertesacker from Wender Bremen, there seems to be no room for French centre back.

4. Denilson

The 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder struggled to make the starting line up at Arsenal and was sent on loan to Sao Paulo last summer. He is bound to leave Arsenal permanently at the end of the season after his jersey No15 has been given to the rising star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

5. Maroune Chamackh

Following an impressive career with Bordeaux, Arsenal landed the Moroccan international on a Free Transfer in 2010. He has however lost form after a good start in Arsenal. The Moroccan international has only scored once in 15 apperances for Arsenal this season. Arsenal is likely to accept a bid in the range of £5-6m for the striker. 

6. Carlos Vela

Carlos Vela who is currently on loan with Real Sociedad has hit a good form at the Spanish club and has been quoted saying "I don't want to return to Arsenal. I have asked my agent to negotiate with Arsenal to stay here." The Mexican international signed for Arsenal in 2005, but has failed to seal a permanent starting place in the Arsene Wenger's side.

7. Nicklas Bendtner

Nicklas Bendtner is currently on loan at Sunderland and may likely secure a permanent deal or move to the Bundesliga.


8 Chu-Young Park

Chu-Young Park moved to Arsenal in a £3million move from Monaco last summer and could quit the North London club this summer after failing to establish himself at the Emirates.

The South Korean striker has made just five appearances since his arrival, scoring one goal, and his agent Morana was quoted saying "If the current state continues, we will have to look at the transfer market in the summer."

9. Andrei Arshavin

Andrey Arshavin joined Arsenal from Zenit Saint Petersburg in 2009 and had an impressive first season with the Arsene Wenger’s Side. But after a run of poor performances he secured a loan move  to his former club Zenit. He is likely to make the deal permanent or switch to rich Russian outfits Anzhi Makhachkala
