Mikel Arteta’s ambitious summer clear-out at Arsenal has officially wrapped up, marking a transformative period for the Gunners as they push for Premier League success.
With big names like Emile Smith Rowe, Aaron Ramsdale, and Eddie Nketiah bidding farewell, the Emirates has seen a significant shake-up, including the latest departure of defender Omar Rekik by mutual consent.
Rekik, who never made a first-team appearance for Arsenal, specifically requested to terminate his contract, seeking a fresh start after loan spells at five different clubs, including two stints at Wigan Athletic.

On the incoming side, Arsenal welcomed five new faces, with Brazilian goalkeeper Neto and Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling headlining the arrivals. Arteta expressed his excitement about Sterling’s addition, emphasizing the need to quickly integrate him into the squad as they chase Premier League glory.
However, the Gunners’ summer business wasn’t without setbacks. New signing Mikel Merino suffered an injury during training, putting him out of action just as the season kicks into gear.
As Arsenal fans digest the dramatic changes, one question remains: Will Arteta’s overhaul pay off as the Gunners aim to end their title drought?
