Arsenal hopes two players leave them soon to fund new spending

Arsenal have been active in the transfer market this summer, securing some impressive signings while still being linked with further additions. However, any new arrivals are now expected to be dependent on player departures, with the club prepared to sanction exits in order to balance the squad and create room for reinforcements.

With only a few days remaining before the window closes, Mikel Arteta and his staff are focused on ensuring the squad is well structured for the challenges ahead. Trimming the team is viewed as a necessary step, and attention has turned to potential departures that could generate the funds and flexibility required for new signings.

Potential Departures on the Horizon

According to Football Insider, Arsenal are hopeful that Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko will depart during this window. Both players have been important contributors in recent seasons, offering versatility and experience across defensive roles. Their performances have underlined their value to the squad, yet the club is now considering exits as part of its broader transfer strategy.

Kiwior has attracted serious interest from FC Porto, who are understood to have entered discussions with Arsenal. While initial negotiations have not led to a breakthrough, the Portuguese side is reportedly preparing an improved offer to secure the Polish international. In contrast, Zinchenko’s situation remains less defined, with no club yet advancing talks for the Ukrainian. His experience and leadership qualities make him a respected figure within the dressing room, but Arsenal appear open to a move should the right proposal emerge.

Balancing the Squad for the Season Ahead

The decision to potentially part ways with these players reflects the delicate balance that Arsenal must strike between maintaining quality depth and creating opportunities for new recruits. By offloading squad members who hold market value, the club can reinforce areas Arteta believes need strengthening while ensuring financial prudence.

As the deadline approaches, Arsenal’s activity will be closely monitored. Supporters will be eager to see how the final days of the window unfold, whether through departures that reshape the squad or the addition of further talent to sustain the club’s ambitions across all competitions.

For now, the focus remains on concluding the right deals to leave the squad in the best possible condition when the market shuts.
