The 2021/22 season is slowly approaching the end for Arsenal, but for some players out on loan the campaign has already concluded and they are now waiting to see whether they'll be part of Mikel Arteta's plans for pre-season and beyond.
What started out as a 17-man strong loan army when the summer transfer window closed at the end of August, increased to 23 with all the movement Gunners manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu oversaw during the January window and football.london have taken a look at how each fared over the weekend.
Of the 23, five have been gaining experience in League One and with the division wrapping up - in terms of the regular season ahead of the play-offs - the quartet of Jordi Osei-Tutu , Ryan Alebiosu , Matt Smith and Brooke Norton-Cuffy are now all free to return to Arsenal.
