Young defender Zach Awe could yet still have a future at Arsenal despite it appearing that he was on the verge of an exit.
On Friday morning when the club's release list was officially announced, the 19-year-old was among 13 players across the men's first-team, U23, U18, scholars and women's teams that were confirmed to be leaving upon the expiry of their contracts at the end of the month.
But a few hours later when the Premier League published the Gunners' retained list for the 2023/24 season, Awe was included. Furthermore, he and senior star Reiss Nelson both had 'offer' next to their names which indicates they are still considering a new contract.
