The "Arsenal" team, which has failed to win the championship title for the second consecutive season in the English Premier League, has decided to seriously renew its squad. The London club officially announced that it has parted ways with several players from the main squad as well as from the youth and women's teams.
The club's management and head coach Mikel Arteta decided not to renew contracts with 4 prominent players from the main squad in preparation for the new season. The "Gunners" said goodbye to defender Kieran Tierney, midfielder Jorginho, Brazilian goalkeeper Neto, and forward Raheem Sterling.
It is worth noting that Neto, who came on loan from "Bournemouth" at the beginning of the season, and Sterling, who was recruited from "Chelsi," did not meet the expectations of the club's management and coach Mikel Arteta. As a result, they were returned to their parent clubs.
Additionally, the future of one of the key players in the main squad, Ghana national team representative Thomas Partey, remains uncertain. The experienced midfielder's contract is set to expire soon, and his agent is currently negotiating a new deal with the club. Whether Partey will stay or leave the team is still one of the unresolved issues.
Besides these players, several players from the youth and girls' teams were also let go. In total, "Arsenal" parting ways with 20 players has surprised many.
According to reports, the club aims to become a serious contender for the championship next season through such extensive changes, as well as to implement a long-term development plan by attracting new talented players to the squad.
Mikel Arteta mentioned that he plans to make significant transfers ahead of the new season. "We are building a strong team worthy of the championship in every way," said the Spanish specialist.
It should be noted that despite leading the championship race in the English Premier League for the last two seasons, "Arsenal" lost valuable points in the final stages of the season and handed the trophy to "Manchester City."
Now, with a new squad and new strategy, whether "Arsenal" can present the long-awaited championship gift to its fans will only be shown in the upcoming season. Today's changes indicate that significant reforms have begun within the team.
