Arsenal conclude their Premier League season away to Crystal Palace on Sunday. And for some players, it could be their last game representing their club in the top flight. The Gunners still have a Champions League final to play against Paris Saint-Germain after traveling to Selhurst Park in hopes of winning their first trophy.
However, several members of Mikel Arteta’s current squad could leave this summer. Christian Norgaard only joined from Brentford in the summer of 2025 and has endured a difficult season. He has been left out of the squad for the last two Premier League matches and may not feature on Sunday ahead of an early sending off. Ben White is also rumored to be leaving Emirates, but will not be able to attend the Palace press conference.
However, some of Arteta’s group could feature in their last league game before a potential departure, with Express Sport investigating four names in particular…
The Brazilian could pursue new opportunities this summer, as both Victor Goqueres and Kai Havertz are clearly above Gabriel Jesus in Arsenal’s striker hierarchy.
Jesus signed a five-year contract when he joined from Manchester City in 2022, but there appears to be no progress on extending his contract. This means that his contract will expire in 2027.
The upcoming transfer window could therefore be Arsenal’s last chance to pay a fee for the 29-year-old, who currently ranks as one of their highest-paid players. Although he missed the most recent game against Burnley, he was on the bench and remains eligible for the game against Palace.

Trossard, who has scored some important goals for the Gunners in recent weeks, could find himself on par with Jesus. The Belgian is 31 years old and has a contract until 2027.
Arsenal showed their commitment to Trossard by increasing his wages at the start of the season, but could well decide to cash in if an attractive offer materializes in the summer.
The additions of Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke have fueled speculation that the player could leave the club, and the game against Palace could be the last time supporters see him in the Premier League. However, it should be noted that the Belgians had previously denied such stories as mere rumors.
Miles Lewis-Skelly, who is less likely to leave than Jesus or Trossard, has struggled to secure a regular starting place after starting just four league games for Arsenal this season.
The 19-year-old had a fantastic year in 2025, winning his first England cap and firmly establishing himself in Arteta’s first-team plans. However, with the arrival of Cristian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie, his playing time was significantly reduced. This game against Palace could be his last league appearance in an Arsenal shirt.
Should the club choose to sell Lewis Skelly, the fees generated would be pure profit and could be reinvested elsewhere. The BBC reported that he and academy graduate Ethan Nwaneri could be sold for a combined £100m.

Letting Gabriel Martinelli go may seem like an odd idea, but reports suggest the Gunners have their sights set on another world-class winger who can light up the flank opposite Bukayo Saka this summer.
Martinelli has been a dedicated servant to Arsenal, and his pace off the bench has proven instrumental in their recent achievements. However, his contract is set to expire in 2027 unless the club opts for a one-year extension. He is also far from guaranteed a starting spot.
Some will expect him to feature at Selhurst Park from the off-season or as a substitute, but if things pan out over the coming period, he could soon ply his trade elsewhere.
In January, Martinelli was rumored to be moving to the Saudi Professional League. Furthermore, recent speculation suggests that PSG and Bayern Munich are interested, and a potential sale could help fund the signing of an attacking player, in line with coach Julian Alvarez’s policies.
