Arsenal duo set to leave on free transfers this summer

Arsenal duo Mohamed Elneny and Cedric Soares are expected to leave on free transfers at the end of June.

Elneny is currently the longest-serving player at the Gunners, having joined them from Basel in the summer of 2016.

He was initially fancied to depart last summer, but Arsenal extended his stay as a good gesture after a serious injury.

Elneny has barely played over the course of the season and he has now confirmed that he will be parting ways.

Alongside him, Cedric is also expected to head for the exit door.

The Portuguese has been out-of-favour for the past few seasons, but he has continued to stay due to his high salary.

No club were willing to meet his wage demands and he is now set to pursue a new challenge on a Bosman agreement.

Alongside the duo, there could be many departures in the summer as the club look to recoup more transfer funds.

The likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson and Albert Sambi Lokonga are fancied to leave.
