5 Arsenal first-team players who could leave the club for free next summer

Shkodran Mustafi

Focus now turns to another centre-back in the shape of Shkodran Mustafi. The German, who was signed from Valencia in 2016, was actually a regular in Mikel Arteta’s starting XI since the Spaniard took over but an injury in the FA Cup semi-final against Man City still sees him sidelined. Unlike the previously mentioned Ozil and Sokratis, the 28-year-old is expected to come back into the frame once he returns to full fitness with his inclusion in the Europa League squad suggesting that.
