da esport bet： Arsenal are at risk of losing three first-team players in North London this summer as Kieran Gibbs, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere’s contract situation has not been resolved, The Evening Standard reports.
What’s the word?
da bet nacional： Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all found it difficult to secure regular first-team football at the Emirates Stadium but they’re still regarded to be an important member of the squad, all of whom could be amongst the first names on the team-sheet in the future.
However, The Evening Standard reports all three players are awaiting contract negotiations with the Gunners as they enter the final 18 months of their deals- and Arsenal run the risk of losing all of them.
Arsene Wenger has gone on record to say that he wants all three players to stay but new deals have not been forthcoming, which will be a concern to the fans- especially as both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil also have question marks hanging over their future.
Who will go?
Probably the most likely to leave Arsenal is Jack Wilshere, as the England international left on Deadline Day last August to join Bournemouth on a season-long loan deal. Whilst he’s impressed on the South Cast, making 19 appearances, he’s still unlikely to become a first-team regular at Arsenal immediately.
With Granit Xhaka, Francis Coquelin, Mohamed Elneny, Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla already well established ahead of Wilshere in the pecking order, the talented midfielder could elect to move on elsewhere and earn first-team assurances- and the same could be the same with Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The Ox has impressed this season, including with a number of performances at centre-midfield, but faces competition from the likes of Lucas Perez, Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi for a wide role in the side.
Meanwhile, Kieran Gibbs probably has the best chance of becoming a starting player once again, with Nacho Monreal unimpressive at full-back, but the Gunners are reportedly seeking new signings in this area- which could push Gibbs out the door.
