Arsenal will need to say goodbye to one first-team player over the next 12 months. Surprisingly, Kai Havertz is in the conversation.
Over the last few years, Arsenal has had to say very few goodbyes. This is because there is a family feeling at the club right now, and it seems like the players are completely brought into Mikel Arteta's plan.
The most notable farewell Arsenal had to say in recent times is to Granit Xhaka. However, this was a happy farewell, as the Swiss international left on great terms. It'll be just as difficult saying farewell to Thomas Partey.
However, Arsenal fans should brace themselves to lose one more key player. According to a reliable journalist, this is on the horizon for the Gunners.
Arsenal will sell one established player in the next 12 months
A report from the BBC, courtesy of trusted Arsenal specialist Sami Mokbel, states Arsenal will lose one established first-team player over the next 12 months. From that, four options have been cherry-picked.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior will become surplus to requirements if a new defender, namely a center back, is signed. So, they're the two most obvious names on the list.
Gabriel Martinelli is a slightly more surprising name on the list. However, Arsenal fans are warned not to rule that sale out, especially with clubs looming.
Kai Havertz linked to Arsenal exit, surprisingly
The most surprising name, though, is Kai Havertz. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Kai Havertz might leave Arsenal.
Mokbel stated that several clubs will be monitoring his situation. This summer transfer window could make or break Havertz, and if Arsenal sign a new striker, clubs interested in Havertz will see how this impacts his Arsenal role.
Right now, it's still up in the air about whether Havertz will stay at Arsenal. However, his situation at the club is believed to be uncertain, given both Arsenal's striker hunt and his contract.
Havertz still has three years remaining on his contract, but by the next summer transfer window, that contract length will reduce to two. Therefore, he could be sold next summer.
Right now, it's hard to put forward an argument that Havertz is untouchable. Frankly, he isn't, despite being the finest Chelsea import. Arsenal's position next summer will massively depend on how much game time Havertz has picked up, and if he's integral to the club going forward.
