There are nine names on Arsenal’s list of ‘released players’ and there would be no surprise to see Per Mertesacker and Santi Cazorla on the list. BFG has moved up to coach the Youth team and Santi Cazorla has gone to Villarreal to continue his fight for fitness.
A few surprising youngsters have gone too. Tafari Moore was loan at Wycombe from January and made 13 appearances in League Two and is now free to join anyone, while Marc Bola was also considered promising and played regularly for Bristol Rovers in League One. He may return there full time. The young keeper Hugo Keto has also gone.
The other released players are Alexander Crean, Aaron Eyoma, Ryan Huddart and Chiori Johnson, while Jack Wilshere is on the list of players offered contracts, along with Tolaji Bola, Josh Dasilva, Vlad Dragomir, Yassin Fortune and Deyan Iliev.
