Hey Ed002, hope you're doing well mate.

With Arsenal entering a busy summer, where do we stand with the outgoings of the first team like ESR, holding, Partey, Xhaka ; loaned out players like balogun and pele and academy players like Patino. To get a few more top additions we might have to bite the bullet with some of these players.

{Ed002's Note - Alex Runarsson (G) Will be available - no clear future at Arsenal.
Kieran Tierney (LB) Newscastle have approached Arsenal to declare an interest in the player.
Nuno Tavares (LB) Marseille are far from impressed - will look for a new home.
Cedric Soares (CB/RB) No obvious future and could look elsewhere for opportunities.
Pablo Mari (CB) Will move to Monza.
Rob Holding (CB) Difficult to see where games will come from.
Albert Sambi Lokonga (DM) Another unhappy bunny at Arsenal who thinks he deserves to be starting games. I think Arsenal may be open to letting him move on. I am not aware of any plans to have a straight swap with Locatelli who is currently only on loan at Juventus and will cost them perhaps three times what Lakonga is worth. Locatelli is only on loan at Juventus and will remain a Sassuolo player until he completes his move to Juventus in 2023 at a pre-agreed fee.
Charlie Patino (CM) Perhaps another loan - again difficult to see where first team opportunities will come from.
Emile Smith-Rowe (AM) Will likely make way if YT or a similar playert joins.
Bukayo Saka (W) Manchester City are keen. Arsenal are working on a new contrtact.
Nicolas Pepe (RW) Disastrous - potential huge loss but needs to move on. A return to France where he has been successful would make sense.
Reiss Nelson (RW) Has done well when called upon but seems to have little hope of a career at Arsenal and will likely leave as a Free Agent in the summer. There is interest from Brighton, West Ham and possibly still Crystal Palace. I expect some interest from Germany and as a wildcard Lutz Pfannenstiel may ressurect prior interest from when he was at Hoffenheim and take him to St Louis City.
Folarin Balogun (S) Arsenal will likely let him leave with Marseille, Inter, MIlan and Villareal scouting him - may be a mistake by Arsenal. Villareal will propose a loan to buy option which will not suit Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah will be ahead of him in the pecking order so it would be a good time to move on. Riem cannot afford him. There will also be interest from Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace.}

Hi Ed thanks for this did you miss saliba on purpose. Hate to see saka on their but that shows the calibre of players we now have. We do need to go all out to make sure we keep our core of players.
