#3 - Mohamed Elneny
Mohamed Elneny's time at Arsenal is coming to an end as the midfielder's contract is up at the end of the season. The Egyptian has not managed to cement his place in the starting XI under Arteta and is unlikely to be offered a new deal.
Trending
Elneny's agent Alan Nazmy has already confirmed there were offers for his client in January, but Arteta refused to let him leave.
Reports suggest Leeds United, Watford, and Newcastle United were the clubs interested in signing the midfielder but could not get a deal done.
Apart from the three Premier League clubs, multiple sources claim there is significant interest in the midfielder from across Europe. Lyon, Marseille, and Valencia have been linked with him, while Besiktas and Galatasaray are also keeping an eye on his situation.
#2 - Cedric Soares
The signing of Cédric Soares was a puzzling one when the Gunners got him from Southampton. However, the Portuguese has done decently at the club but now faces tough competition from Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Mikel Arteta is said to be a fan of the defender and is keen to keep him at the club.
However, the 30-year-old is reportedly looking for a new club in the summer as he wants to play regularly.
Middlesbrough right-back Djed Spence has been touted as his replacement at Arsenal as the Gunners aim to freshen up the squad with youngsters.
#1 - Alexandre Lacazette
Alexandre Lacazette's contract is up after the season ends, and there are no indications that suggest the Gunners are offering him a new contract. The Frenchman is reportedly a target for his former side Lyon, and we could see his future decided soon.
Mikel Arteta has refused to reveal his stance on the contract situation but said:
"We don't know what is going to happen at the end of the season. What he needs to do is put aside that future. It is part of our game, we don't have contracts that run for 20 years. That's part of our job and we have to be conscious of that. There's nothing to tell him but to praise him, because every single day he behaves like someone that wants to stay with us."
Arteta has already hinted at Emile Smith Rowe playing as a striker. Still, the London side are expected to sign an out-and-out striker too. They desperately tried to get Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina before he moved to Juventus.
