Arsenal Confirm 15 Players to Leave This Summer as Club Releases Full Exit List

Arsenal Football Club has confirmed a major squad reshuffle ahead of the summer transfer window, releasing a list of 15 players who will leave the club when their contracts expire on June 30, 2026.

The announcement affects players across the men’s senior setup, academy ranks, and the women’s team, marking one of the most significant end-of-contract clear-outs in recent years.

Among those departing are several youth prospects who featured at under-21 and under-18 levels, alongside established names from the women’s squad who have contributed to recent campaigns.

The men’s and academy exits include Sam Chapman, Harrison Dudziak, Seb Ferdinand, Cam’ron Ismail, Will Lannin-Sweet, Joshua Ogunnaike, Samuel Onyekachukwu, and Alexei Rojas-Fedorushchenko, all of whom are set to move on after their deals expire.

In the women’s team, Arsenal confirmed the departures of Laia Codina, Katie McCabe, Beth Mead, Victoria Pelova, Barbora Votikova, Naomi Williams, and Manuela Zinsberger — players who have featured prominently in recent seasons.

The club also noted that discussions are still ongoing with several players whose contracts are due to expire, meaning their futures remain unresolved for now.

Those still in talks include Caitlin Foord, Aleksander Marciniak, and Joshua Ogunnaike, with Arsenal indicating that decisions will be made before the official end of their current deals.

The widespread list highlights the club’s ongoing squad restructuring as they prepare for another competitive season across domestic and European competitions.

Further updates are expected as Arsenal finalises its retention and transfer strategy ahead of the new campaign.
