Arsenal have confirmed that 15 players will depart the club on June 30 when their contracts come to an end. From the men's senior squad, there are no surprises with all current first-team players contracted beyond this summer.
Jakub Kiwior, absent from the list, will be sold this summer after an agreement was reached with FC Porto over a permanent transfer following this season's loan spell. An identical arrangement is in place for Piero Hincapie to join on a permanent basis from Bayer Leverkusen.
From the women's team, club icons Beth Mead and Katie McCabe will depart after many years of dedicated service. The latter will move to Chelsea for the upcoming season, while Mead has been linked with a switch to Manchester City, where she could reunite with Vivianne Miedema.
