A statistical analysis by Flashscore highlights the players Arsenal may offload this summer.
Arsenal are still basking in the glory of reaching only their second Champions League final in history, the first time they’ve made the showpiece since losing to Barcelona in the 2006 final—ironically, also held in Paris. Reaching the final brings in nearly €140 million, a figure that could rise if they beat the reigning champions, Paris Saint-Germain. However, that good news is tempered by the fact that the club knows it must generate significant player sales this summer.
A year ago, the Gunners spent an eye-watering €310 million on new signings while bringing in just €10 million from player sales, giving them the highest net spend in the Premier League. With new transfer regulations looming, the north London side has no choice but to cash in on players deemed surplus to requirements. So, who might be on that list?
**Ben White**
If not for Jurrien Timber’s persistent injury issues, it’s questionable how many minutes Mikel Arteta would give Ben White. Although the England international has rarely disappointed when starting, it’s clear Timber is the first-choice right-back at the Emirates. White has played 29 games across all competitions in 2025/26, starting 22, but totals 1,852 minutes compared to Timber’s 3,309.
Looking at chances created, Timber has 36 to White’s 20, as expected. However, their passing accuracy is almost identical: Ben at 85.07%, Jurrien at 85.4%. Only Saka, Gabriel, and Zubimendi surpass Timber’s 56.05% in individual duels, while White sits at a modest 47.53%. One striking stat, given the difference in minutes, is that Ben White has made 55 clearances, close to Timber’s 68.
**Leandro Trossard**
The Belgian might feel unfairly singled out if he’s among those making way for new signings. Trossard may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the 31-year-old always gives his all in the red-and-white shirt. With seven goals and 10 assists in all competitions, his contribution has been decent if not spectacular. Only five players have made more forward passes than his 517 this season.
His 47 chances created are only surpassed by Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Declan Rice, while his 115 ball recoveries also rank among the best. Perhaps his age and the fact his contract expires in a year will be decisive factors for the club.
**Gabriel Martinelli**
Six goals and two assists in 13 Champions League games this season have been key to Arsenal reaching the final. However, the Brazilian has underperformed in the Premier League, with just one goal in 29 appearances—scored in the last minute against Manchester City in September. His 577 passes in all competitions are among the lowest in the squad, and his passing accuracy is only 78.86%.
**Gabriel Jesus**
One must have some sympathy for Gabriel Jesus. Injuries have hampered both his playing time and his form.
