Reporter: The Gunners May Sell Nergo/Jesus And Four Others In The Summer Window, And Skelly’s Future Is Bright

Hupu News on May 19th, Football London reporter Ryan Taylor reported that even though Arsenal is extremely close to winning the Premier League and Champions League double crown, club co-chairman Josh Kroenke has made it clear that the team will not stand still this summer. After the transfer window opens, the Gunners are expected to make adjustments to the lineup, and several players are currently regarded as potential candidates to leave the team.

Regarding Nergao’s prospects of leaving the team

During that game against Burnley, defensive midfielder Christian Nergaard was not even included in the squad and is likely to leave the Emirates Stadium after just one season in north London. The Danish midfielder joined from Brentford. At the time of the transfer, the fee plus floating bonuses could reach a maximum of 12 million pounds. However, so far, he has only played 6 times in the Premier League. Nergaard is often left out of the matchday squad and is almost certain to leave the team in the coming months. Although he still has certain value on the training ground, Arteta is not interested in him.

About Jesus’ situation

Forward Gabriel Jesus has been sitting on the bench in 8 of the past 12 Premier League games. For this game against West Ham United, he was not even included in the squad. This summer, he only has the last year left on his contract, and it is basically certain that he will leave the Gunners. European clubs and Brazilian clubs have expressed interest in him. Through intermediaries, Jesus was recommended to AC Milan, as well as his old club Palmeiras and other teams. However, after failing to be selected for Brazil's World Cup squad, he had to take some time to decide his next direction.

On Martinelli’s future

Although Gabriel- Martinelli was selected by Ancelotti into the 26-man World Cup squad. However, he spent an on-again, off-again season at Arsenal. The winger played 51 games in all competitions and scored 11 times. However, it seems that he has never been able to clearly show significant improvement and show his ability. In a sign of realizing his potential, Martinelli has always been difficult to replace the aging Trossard in Arsenal's starting lineup. If he really leaves the team, then this sale will still bring a considerable amount of funds to the club, and this is why this deal may be attractive. The contract signed by this 24-year-old winger with speed advantage will last until 2027. However, Arsenal has a 12-month extension option that can be activated in order to protect the value of this winger.

About Nwaneri’s whereabouts

Regrettably, Ethan Nwaneri may also be heading towards leaving after a difficult six-month loan spell with Marseille. What happened was that Max Dauman emerged and Nwaneri was effectively replaced. Given the situation in which Nwaneri represents 100% pure profit within the scope of Financial Fair Play rules, there is a possibility that he will be sold. The reason is that Arteta cannot guarantee his playing time.

On the Lewis-Skelly reversal

Miles Lewis-Skelly looked very likely to leave when he lost his place in the team. However, he reminded everyone of his quality when he returned to Arteta's first-choice line-up when he came on as a substitute against Burnley. Given his recent improvement in form, he looks to have a bright future in his preferred midfield position.
