Arsenal have confirmed that eight youngsters will leave the club when their contracts expire at the end of this month.
Of the group, right-back Josh Nichols, who has already confirmed a move to Croatian side NK Kustosija, and backup goalkeeper Alexei Rojas are the most notable departures. Both trained regularly with the first team, the former making his senior debut in last season’s League Cup win over Bolton.
The others to leave are drawn from the under-21 and under-18 ranks.
