It's becoming quite clear as to which players will be leaving Arsenal this summer.
At the beginning of the month, it was revealed that Charlie Patino is seeking a permanent exit following a decent loan spell in the Championship with Blackpool. The Gunners are in a strong negotiating position with regard to the teenager having activated a two-year option in his contract.
But in terms of senior Arsenal stars, Ainsley Maitland-Niles has already revealed his plan to leave on a free when his contract expires at the end of next month, Pablo Mari is joining Monza for £5.9million and of course, football.london understands Granit Xhaka is in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a £13million transfer.

So with two moves decided, some supporters are turning their attention to deal number four and it involves Albert Sambi Lokonga who has been tipped to join Burnley - who will be back in the Premier League next season after being promoted from the Championship - thus reuniting with Vincent Kompany.
The pair were together at Anderlecht and the role Kompany played in the Belgian midfielder's move to Arsenal in the summer of 2021 is well documented, even if the 23-year-old hasn't quite been able to live up to the billing as the 'next Yaya Toure' during his time in England.
With that said, the idea of the Burnley manager getting to work with Lokonga again and potentially unlocking his potential is something many Gunners fans are very much in favour of. In fact, some have even gone as far as to reveal what sporting director Edu Gaspar should deem as an acceptable offer.
For example on Twitter, @obez2012 said: "Permanent sale only please", @redbul_077 said: "£15m+£5m if they stay up (or £12+£3m and a buy back for £25m-£30m), @RahulNaren3592 said: "At least £25 million", @OllieTalksAFC said: "£10 million for him and £13 million for Xhaka would be good to help fund Rice's transfer" and @zelda5_iam said: "Thank you! Take him £20m."
Meanwhile, some are of the opinion that a temporary deal would be the best course of action. @christian_deery said: "Loan him", @francisog017 said: "He needs to go on loan, not sell. I still think this guy will come good" and @Lewis_1361 suggested: "A loan deal with an option to buy maybe."
It remains to be seen if the aforementioned Arsenal fans get their wish with regard to Lokonga, but the midfielder - who is currently on loan with Crystal Palace - is one of several first-team players that could leave in the summer transfer window especially if Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo arrive.
